Alberta Ballet - Don Quixote
May 1 - 3 - Calgary | Jubilee Auditorium 1415 14 Ave N.W.
May 9 - 10 - Edmonton | Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium 11455 87 Ave N.W.
Follow the spirited adventures of the idealistic Don Quixote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza!
Alberta Ballet season will be capped with a burst of exuberance when Alberta Ballet dancers perform the rollicking high-spirited world premiere of Francesco Ventriglia's freshly reimagined Don Quixote. The central characters of this ballet, inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ famous novel, are full of wit and personality. Don Quixote adds a touch of whimsy with his chivalrous ideals and heroic stylings, and Kitri and Basilio, the young lovers central to the plot of the story, infuse the stage with energy and romance.
This new take on the beloved classic will feature new costumes designed by Gianluca Falaschi, handmade in his Rome atelier. The spectacular season finale will dazzle with whimsical charm, capturing the playfulness and warmth of a classic.

Disability Tax Credit - Valley to Peak
Many Canadians living with disabilities may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC)—a federal program that can provide up to $9,872 in financial support. However, many individuals remain unaware or unsure of the application process. Certified occupational therapists in Calgary and Edmonton are helping individuals determine their eligibility and navigate the application process with ease.
The DTC is available to those who experience significant difficulty with daily activities such as walking, dressing or feeding. If these activities take three times longer than average, at least 90% of the time and if the condition is expected to last 12 months or more, individuals may be eligible.
If you have questions, contact Catharine Eckersley, M.O.T., M.A., Director & Occupational Therapist of Valley to Peak, who can provide expert insight on eligibility and the application process.
Barclay Street Real Estate - Calgary's Commercial Real Estate Suburban and Beltline Market Report
Leasing momentum continued into Q1 2025, with activity concentrated in higher-class suburban and Beltline office spaces. Occupancy rates are rising quarter-over-quarter, highlighting steady demand across both markets.
Yet political developments, including President Trump’s election and new tariff initiatives, are casting some uncertainty over the outlook. A number of tenants are taking a cautious “hurry up and wait” approach as they navigate the changing environment.
