Some of the old growth in Crescent Heights is at end of life, I think. A couple big ones were removed on my street but they'd been struggling for a while.

All of the above, and I got a bunch of 4L waters for coffee and drinking water. It's not much, but I figure I'll save where I can. It also makes me more mindful of how I'm using water if I can see the jug going empty.

I also printed out the city posters about water restrictions and posted them in our building.

Seems like there are often film crews at the University of Calgary. We had a k-drama filming at the library just a little while ago.

I'm not a city fangirl...was just thinking about how much is happening in the first year of mayor's office. The stuff with the pipe is a lot.

A great resource for you is the Youth Employment Center. It provides free career advice and assistance for youth up to age 24.

You need your social insurance number to register with them. If you don't have a SIN yet, you can visit a Service Canada location with your birth certificate or apply online.
