Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Five – Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Calgary #FTRW Committee Council Presentation (February 2004)

Through my work with the Writers Guild of Alberta, I became involved with the Calgary Freedom to Read Week Committee.  I can’t find it online now but my memory is that this committee of writers, librarians, publishers and social activists was formed after some MLA held up some book in the Alberta Legislature to denounce […]

An Extra Emotional Day in “Hammond Housing”-Related News

Friday turned into an even more emotional housing-news related day then we expected. In addition to being the possession day of our old house for the new owners, we heard that the condo complex where we lived for a couple years during our time in Calgary was engulfed in flames displacing numerous residents only a […]

I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]
