Seen In Calgary #24: Team Canada’s Dressing Room At Winsport

Seen In Calgary #22: Snow That Glitters
I don’t like winter. I’m a spring and fall kinda guy. I like the crisp air and bright colours, but you can keep the snow thank you very much. My kids, however, have a very different perspective on snow. I love that having kids changes my perspective and lets me see things from a different angle. Like, for example, snow.
Seen In Calgary #21: Naheed Nenshi
I first met Naheed Nenshi on twitter almost a year before he became Mayor. Even then he was friendly and engaging not aware of his destiny. He still didn’t know if he would run, let alone be elected as Mayor of Calgary. Here’s how I got to know the best Mayor in Canada and came to call him friend.
Seen In Calgary #20: Old Cars And A Buddhist Stupa On Paskapoo Slopes Trails

Seen In Calgary #17: Raygun Gothic Rocketship At Beakerhead
The Raygun Gothic Rocketship is visiting Calgary this week as a part of Beakerhead. It is a fantastically retro-futuristic space vehicle that will have your mind time traveling from the past to the future and back again. The climb up the precarious ladder to the ground floor of this 40 foot beauty is enough to give you vertigo.
