As a kid, June was my all-time favourite month. The weather was getting warm, the days were so long, and the tantalizing possibilities of summer stretched out gloriously before me. Okay, so some things have changed. Now June is a mad, chaotic dash with all the people in my house trying to finish up all the things before summer. The goal in June is now to survive. Adding to my feeling of “too busy!” are all the great events that start happing in June! (So how do you not still love June?) Wishing you all the best of this month!
Come see all the adorable babies during the Kayben Farms’ Barn Babies weekend from June 2 – 3. It was a long, long winter, so this is the perfect event to celebrate the new life of spring (and have a great family day, too)!
June means lilacs in Calgary – even if only for a very short window. Head down to the 4th Street Lilac Festival on June 3 for blocks of great vendors plus plenty of fantastic entertainment. Look for the bouncy castle for the kids and Food Truck Lane, among other great attractions.
Also on June 3rd is BMX Bike Day! This is the day where anyone aged 4 and up can come out and try the great sport of BMX bike racing for FREE. The only requirement is that riders must wear long-sleeved shirts and pants to participate, and decent shoes and cycling gloves are recommended.
Country Hills Village Shopping Centre is a one-stop shop for getting all your errands done (hooray!) and if you haven’t been to the shopping centre lately, come check it out on June 9th for the Global Wellness Day event! Global Wellness Day is a worldwide social project dedicated to living well. From 1 – 4 pm, under a tent in the parking lot, the shopping centre is offering activities to the public for FREE.

Country Hills Village Shopping Centre, conveniently situated in Calgary’s NW, has developed into a valuable shopping centre for today’s busy families. In spite of the growing popularity of online shopping, a community shopping centre simply cannot be replaced. Great local businesses and a wide variety of services give Calgary families a chance to get their errands done quickly and easily at Country Hills Village Shopping Centre. With health and wellness services, pet care, banking, groceries, and restaurants, you’ll appreciate this one-stop shop! While you’re picking up pet food, grab some wine for dinner and meet a friend for coffee. Get your groceries, grab some cash, and even squeeze in a massage or a pedicure. The easy accessibility and the 31 tenants at the shopping centre make your day as uncomplicated as possible. If you’ve been by recently, you’ll know that part of the shopping centre has recently been given a facelift and modernized. Later this spring, the revitalization project continues with phase 2 of the new facade.
