We’re not going to sugar-coat it… Mondays are well known as the buzz-kill of the week.
While they may not be able to compete with Saturday, or even Sunday, there’s still plenty going on around the city to take your mind off the fact that the work week has just begun.
And before you know it, it will be Tuesday, then Wednesday, then Thursday, and well would you look at that, it’s the weekend all over again!
That’s just what happens when you keep busy! Here’s a few events around Calgary so you can do just that.
