The Polar Express; Until Saturday, Dec. 24. At Aspen Crossing A train trip to the North Pole is hard to beat as a seasonal read.

Sadly, an art exhibit, like the river that hosts it, must eventually move on.

Arminé Tatosian says she loves to set the table. She means it both literally—”to me, it’s like therapy—and figuratively, inviting friends to her stylish condo in Inglewood to see what conversations and connections develop.

For me, 2016 will go down as the year the human genome started to go mainstream. 23andMe, the best-known direct to consumer DNA testing service, got back in the good books of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration towards the end of 2015.

Lately Glen Gulutzan has sounded like a broken record, repeating the potential of the Scotiabank Saddledome. OK, OK, the concourse, the washrooms, the seats, the dressing rooms, the press box and, in general, the entire experience of a Calgary Flames game leaves something to be desired (especially now compared to Rogers Place a.k.a. the House […]
Captains of industry and Alberta politicians are applauding Ottawa’s decisive decision to approve two oil pipelines.
