Welcome to another weekly wrap-up of Calgary Today! This weeks episode was labeled "COVID Creativity" not just because it fits the naming convention, but because of the ingenuity and creativity shown in the solutions found to many of the pandemic's brand new problems.

Whether that problem is understanding how we can bring communities together and help each other succeed. (Former Calgary MLA and Municipal Affairs Minister, turned author Doug Griffiths)

How do businesses go above and beyond to create that same sense of community especially with younger citizens? (Comic Traders Employee/ Part-Time Superhero Kelly Adlard)

Or how can a city like Calgary experience moments of pure togetherness like the singing on balconies in Italy? (Vintage Group President & CEO Lance Hurtubise)

What about finding a mutually beneficial way to help students getting volunteer experience while connecting with isolated seniors? (CBE Teacher Jamie Andersen)

How can we document everything that is happening around us in these brand new times in a new and interesting way? (Graphic Recorder for The Sprawl Sam Hester)

And what about the seniors who have been isolated in the scary continuing care facilities? How do we get their minds of the world before them? (Executive Director of Journey Club at Westman Village Al Boileau)

Regardless of the questions, Joe McFarland is looking for creative solutions. Whenever and wherever he finds them, he'll be sure to share them with you.
