I’ll let this electronic sign do the talking! It was set up for Canada Day 2018 on the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary. The area around this Bow River crossing is used as a launch site for the annual fireworks display capping off a day of celebrations. The final few seconds of last year’s pyrotechnic show are shown below.

Block party, Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

A family that (cos)plays together, stays together, am I right? Revellers and participants begin to assemble at Calgary’s Olympic Plaza a few Fridays ago at the conclusion of the annual Parade of Wonders, marking the official start of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.

Here is one of the buildings, as it was about a year ago.
