There is nothing more disappointing than hearing about an event that you would love to go to… and then finding out its over already! After missing out on some fantastic opportunities in Calgary, I began making sure that I stayed “in the loop” concerning all the exciting things happening in the city. Here are a few upcoming events that haven’t gotten the attention that they deserve:
Green Art Market
Nov 4 – 5
Hillhurst United Church
Local artists, designers and artisans will sell their environmentally themed work at the Hillhurst United Church in early November.

Calgary’s first annual SnowFest boasts Big Air Demos & Extreme Sled Tricks, bon fires, a pancake breakfast, an outdoor Colossovision movie premiere, and more!

Marda Loop Justice Film Festival
Nov 15 – 20
River Park Church Auditorium
The Marda Loop Justice Film Festival shows several documentaries that provide insight on international issues and provide a deeper understanding of our global community. An NGO village where you can buy free-trade products will be set up during the festival as well. Several thought provoking films are being shown, and titles such as The Market, The Chocolate Farmer, Blood in the Mobile and Burning Water have me interested already.
