Happy Friday!
Today, we are sending you our final newsletter of the semester. For it, we’re taking a moment to look back on the stories that our readers enjoyed most. From mayoral candidates to community features, arts, sports, and much more, our team has been grateful to share Calgary’s stories this fall. On that note, we’ll be pausing the newsletter until January as our editor team concludes exam season and heads into a well-earned holiday break.
We hope you have a very warm and festive holiday season, Calgary Journal readers. We’re truly grateful to have you reading, sharing, and most of all, supporting our student journalism!
Take a look at these stories we’ve selected for you:
