You already know I love the Hillhurst, Sunnyside, and Kensington neighbourhoods of Calgary. You already know that I live and work here. And here’s the newest reason why I LOVE this place: Calgary is one of the Canadian cities where Slide the City will be offering a unique and fun 2-day event in August. |
On August 1-2, a 1000ft slip and slide will pass right in front of my place next to Riley Park. Described as “the biggest water party of the summer”, this Slide the City event will include music, dancing, food, drinks and all round fun in the sun. What’s better? They’re partnering with the Canadian Cancer Society and Ronald McDonald House, adding to the feel-good factor of the event. Plus, because environmental awareness is important to me, I appreciate the water conservation component of this event. “We are asking participants to pledge to reduce shower time, forego frequent car washes, update shower/faucet heads, fix leaking sinks, reduce watering of lawns and take other steps to decrease water usage.” Water will be re-circulated through the day to operate the slide and, after the event, water is recycled back into the community. The Slide the City event is sold out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come by and take a look. While you’re in the area, check out some of my other favourites: The Beehive, The Vendome Café, Gastro Pub (previously known as F.A.T.S Bar and Grill), and the Dairy Lane Café. And if you are a home owner living nearby who is going to be selling, find out how your Calgary property can benefit from professional staging and discuss the results Set Your Stage clients have achieved.
