WORK OUT IN ONE OF CALGARY’S PARKS
We know that hearing about another shutdown was tough, especially on those who rely on working out to stay sane. We’re living through tough times, but we’re lucky enough to live in a city with so many beautiful green spaces, and for that, we should be thankful! In fact, these grassy nooks are not only perfect for picnicking, but they’re also solid for breaking a sweat! Check out the link above for the best outdoor places to work out in Calgary.
DRIVE THROUGH ALBERTA AND TAKE IN THE SIGHTS
Grab some snacks and hit shuffle on that ‘road tunes’ playlist of yours! We live in a beautiful province and one of the easiest ways to really experience its beauty is from behind the wheel. Bundle up and start your engines – because we’ve put together a list of the 10 most scenic drives in Alberta. Click the link above for more information!
