The Calgary Journal team plans to bring you stories over the next several weeks about Inglewood, Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood. These stories explore its bird sanctuary, historic housing, and more.

Additionally, Archie McLean’s advanced reporting class has been researching stories about public safety in Calgary, all of which will be published in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Until then, we encourage you to read our journalist-in-residence’s story about homelessness, titled Some place to go. The class even held a pop-up event to talk about homelessness and public safety with the community, which you can read more about here.

Outside of that, there are a lot of great stories, photos, and events in this week’s newsletter, and we hope you enjoy.

Don’t forget to stay warm!
