Calgary’s Christmas and holiday markets return over the next few weeks! From handmade gifts to local treats, it’s time to shop local and get in the holiday spirit.

At the same time, that means the weather started to turn, and Calgary’s cold snap is almost in full swing. A journalism class here at Mount Royal University created a WiFi and bathroom map for Calgary. So, if you’re caught in the cold and need a place to brush up, catch up, or warm up, this map could come in handy.

As always, thanks for finishing your week with us. Enjoy the hand-picked news, events, and photos in this week’s newsletter.
