Familiarity Breeds Comfort 

“If you are fearful, 

a horse will back off. 

If you are calm and confident, 

it will come forward. 

For those who are often flattered or feared, 

the horse can be a welcome 

mirror of the best in human nature.”

~ Clare Balding

Canadian Central Memorial Park is Calgary’s Oldest Park

Canadian Central Memorial Park is Calgary’s Oldest Park! Geometric pathways cross-cross skillfully manicured gardens surrounding the equestrian statue as the main focal point showcased in downtown Calgary, Canada. “The Horseman of the Plains” is a tribute to all Albertan soldiers who fought in the Second Boer War from 1899-1902. Inscriptions on two granite benches showcase the statue at each end immortalizing their bravery. Artistic fountains illuminate the water with colorful hues, adding to the ambience. Central Memorial Park engulfs one entire block in the heart of the city. Beltline residents as well as visitors, tourists, and downtowners appreciate the numerous benches and café tables available when longing for a brief interlude from daily responsibilities. Pack a lunch, toss a coin into the fountain, make a wish, and breathe easy for awhile. 

The Appearance of S’hrooms 

“I have a fear of 

things growing on things. 

I don’t know where it came from. 

But I go hiking a lot, 

and sometimes I can’t handle 

moss growing on trees or 

tumors on trees or 

mushrooms.” 

~ Lara Jean Chorostecki 

Express Yourself

“I remember walking into drugstores 

when I was younger 

and seeing all the hair color boxes 

on the shelves and just being 

so in awe. 

Having the control 

to dye your hair and 

change your look is such 

a part of self-expression.”

~ Olivia Wilde
