The new Telus World of Science Centre set to open in the fall of 2011 will be a purpose built centre, certified environmentally-sensitive to include new galleries and exhibits, and boast a four acre outdoor ‘amazement park’.

It will move from its current cramped west downtown location on 11 St. S.W. to a spacious destination site next to the Calgary Zoo on Memorial Drive and Deerfoot Trail. The current Science Centre has outgrown its space as attendance has more than doubled in the last decade.

Fingers flying over the buttons of a cell phone may now be doing more than text messaging a friend, they may be helping grant a child’s wish or ending extreme poverty.

Canadian charities will now be using text messaging to do some fundraising in hopes of creating a new method for donating, and targeting a new audience.

APARTMENT TO ACREAGE

It’s official: CJSW – Calgary’s favorite community radio station has finally moved out of its cramped basement.

It is now airing from the third floor of the University of Calgary’s McEwan student centre right next to NUTV – the campus and community television station.

The new roomy (and visible) space is a breath of fresh air for all and the radio booths are being fully equipped with new shiny technology.

Although the new equipment is not cutting edge technology, it has made a significant impact on CJSW as a whole.
