He’s a local musician and proud regular of the Blues Can, a live music venue that’s soon being forced to close its doors sometime this fall for city redevelopment. ...

Warm beer dripped down the bartender’s legs, forming a puddle on the floor beneath her. Her light-wash jeans were soiled, and her thighs became stickier the longer she stood there in shock in front of the customer who poured his drink on her. The man, old enough to be her father, probably did it on purpose. “He wanted to see how wet he could make me,” said Tayla Clark, a fourth-year media and communications student at the University of Calgary who works in bars to pay her way through school. ...

Illegal economies are economies based around less-than-legal income streams, however many of the people involved in these economies are day-to-day workers, not criminals. That's one finding of Gloria Perez-Rivera, an assistant professor of anthropology at Mount Royal University, who has done a lot of research on illegal economies. “What I would like people to understand is that half of the world lives from these things we call illegal economies,” said Perez-Rivera....

For almost three decades, Mount Royal University has honoured Indigenous culture through its annual powwow, which was held this year on Saturday Nov. 2.

Event organizer Cory Cardinal, who has been involved since the early days, recalls how members of the club advocated for two major goals: “Establishing a powwow and creating an Indigenous center,” says Cardinal....
