Over the last few months, I have been working tirelessly with my current Gr.8 students to create podcasts. Their mission was to go out into Calgary and expand their worldview. They had 20 tasks to complete ranging from trying a new type of ethnic cuisine to taking a new form of transportation. It was amazing to see my students tackle new experiences head on and look for ways to explore everything Calgary has to offer! Too often we fail to see the wonder and beauty that’s in our own backyard so it has been awesome to have the chance to see Calgary through a new light!
We partnered with Calgary 2012 GIGYYC and Danielle Nerman from CBC Radio to be able to create 16 podcasts! We will be sharing each of these stories this Thursday, April 11, 2013 at Alice Jamieson Girls’ Academy at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
This Saturday youth can join Kate via Skype at the Calgary downtown library to learn practical skills to help them in projects they are currently undertaking, learn how to get involved in their community and meet other youth that want to make a difference! Do you know someone who would be interested? Send this poster their way.

I love this short film that showcases how following your passion to make your community better is sometimes best exhibited by youth! It’s amazing to see the perseverance and the efforts of whole community that makes this dream of playing sports possible! Thank you to Revolver Film and TMB for funding such a great film!
