This revelation came to me about two minutes before I started wring this post. That’s right, we’re on our last month until 2017. And because this year has been so unique, I’ve decided to list my highlights of 2016.
1. Olympics: This year’s Olympics in Rio, Brazil, was certainly unlike any that has ever happened before. Hooray for Canada for ending up with 22 medals! Sure summer isn’t our strong suit, but the weather says why.
2. Our neighbors down south: That’s right, the 2016 Presidential Election. Either outcome would have made history and we could all say that this year’s election definitely took an unexpected turn.
3. Calgary Youth Hackathon: This year, the Mayor’s Youth Council hosted Calgary’s First Ever Youth Hackathon! A bunch amazing youth showed off and presented their creative solution to a panel of judges. Stay tuned for another Hackathon next year!
4. Congrats to Leo: This was the year that everyone was waiting for, and especially the man himself- Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar. Mr. DiCaprio’s speech says it all.
5. Finding Dory finally released: The sequel to Finding Nemo, one of my childhood favorites for movies, was released this year! Along with numerous other amazing movies like Fantastic Beasts, Doctor Strange and Zootopia, we can all agree that this year was an incredible step for movies.
