Here’s my list of amazing things happening in Calgary this month. Well, I honestly cannot believe that is is already February. In some respects the year is going by too quickly already but then on the other hand, I am more than excited for spring to arrive. February is full of all sorts of goodness and I cannot wait to experience every minute of it. Check out these great events and please spread the good word of I HEART YYC to your friends.
