TRAPPED FOOD DRIVE // Give back to the community and "Fill The Jeep" with the @owenhartfoundation food drive in support of the @calgaryfoodbank. Donors can drop off non-perishable food items at @trappedcalgary in Kensington from now until April 10 during business hours — this year`s goal is to raise over 3000lbs of food! Make sure to stick around for an escape room while you`re at it.

ALBERTA FAMILY WELLNESS INITIATIVE // We welcomed a small crew on Kensington Road this Tuesday from The Palix Foundation and @evanshunt who were filming content for the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative. The project focuses on the related areas of childhood development, addiction and mental health. Thank you for choosing Kensington as your back-drop.
JOY TEA // Sip sip hooray, Spring has sprung! Celebrate the new season with a walk through Kensington and of course some @joytea.yyc. For first timers, give the `Classical Three Fellows Milk Tea` a taste. It`s the perfect blend of creamy goodness and aromatic tea, guaranteed to put a spring in your step (corner of 10th street and Kensington road).
