After the Dream, Then What?
From 'Hamnet' to Homegrown
From post-pandemic wellness to water-conscious living, gardening is taking root in new ways. UCalgary experts Dr. Anne Katzenberg, PhD, Lex van der Raadt, BA’06, BA’11, MA’15, and Jack Goodwin, BSc’09 explore how growing spaces like Silver Springs Botanical Gardens are shaping healthier people, stronger communities and more sustainable cities.
After the Dream, Then What?
For athletes and graduates alike, the end of a defining chapter raises a familiar question: what’s next? Brooklyn McDougall, BSc’21, shares her experience with the Olympic blues, retirement and how she’s navigating the transition through art and a return to UCalgary.
The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
The Olympic Oval
Every inch of the Oval has a story. Olympic champions, major events, millions of guests, and decades of multi-sport excellence—this is hallowed ground, a community landmark unlike anything else in the country.”
