The greatest gift parents could ever give their child is an education. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Interestingly enough, parents today are still particular in deciding which school is best for their child and find ways to get them there. However, not all are privileged enough to be able to enrol in the schools they prefer.

There are two options in choosing a school, that is, whether a private or a public school. In Canada at present, it is not unusual for affluent Canadians to send their children to public schools. In fact, only 8% of the whole Canadian student population are in private schools.

Historically, private education in the Canadian Prairies was once denoted…

To celebrate the culture and romance of the vanishing “Old West”, a successful trick roper and performer named Guy Weadick organized a world-class rodeo competition more than a century ago. He named this event “Stampede” and found support from the Big Four - the most successful ranchers of Southern Alberta: Pat Burns, A.J. McLean, George Lane and A.E. Cross.

Launched in September of 1912, the first Calgary Stampede featured bronc and roping events, with participants from all of the North American West. It was a successful event.
