Calgary’s ZOOLIGHTS – A Family Tradition
Bring the whole family and your holiday guests to experience ZOOLIGHTS 2015!
On Wednesday November 11, 2015 we pay tribute and remember those members of the armed forces – some who selflessly sacrificed their own precious lives in the line of duty — who have served their nation in war, in armed conflict, and in the effort of sustaining world peace.
Past, present and future we salute those who have served and those who continue to serve at home and overseas. Without them there would be no freedom.
As the saying goes, spring forward, fall back…
Don’t forget to turn back your clocks this weekend and enjoy that extra hour of sleep Saturday night!
“Daylight Savings Time” is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one hour during the longer days of summer, and back again in the fall.
Daylight savings time will end with a “fall back” to standard time on Sunday November 1, at 2:00 a.m.
And, Happy Halloween…
If you’re a kid or a kid at heart who gets an adrenaline rush out of being scared to death, check out Fright Nights Halloween Events Guide. You will experience haunted houses, Halloween themed carnival games, creepy and disturbing entertainment, and FEAR.

Did you know that concrete doesn’t have to be gray? You can change the colour of your concrete while you’re mixing or finishing it.
Hardscapes Inc. has a number of ways to change the colour of your concrete. Dyed colour and Dry-shake colors which consist of a powder that is applied to the surface after the concrete has been poured, screened, and floated.
Literally anything concrete can be coloured and textured to meet any design idea.
To see some of the interesting colours that can be applied to your driveway, sidewalk or basement floor take a look at our resources page for a variety of colour and surface options.
Oh my gosh – time sure is flying by at a break neck pace. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already since our homes were filled with family and friends for a festive meal and to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. This weekend we do it all over again.
Hardscapes Inc. wishes everyone a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
“Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise…then you will discover the fullness
of your life.”

A concrete driveway can become a thing of beauty when colour is added to the mix or dusted on during the process. Then it can be stamped with patterns that can resemble flagstone, pavers, stones or brick.
Stamped concrete can range from around $8 and go over $18 depending on complexity and materials.
If you’re just looking to colour your concrete driveway you can match up almost any colour to compliment your home or surrounding outdoor décor.
Concrete engraving can be done on existing driveways. At a considerably lesser price point, usually $3 to $6, it’s a great way to spruce up an existing drive.
Staining concrete is really becoming the way to create beautiful driveways. Chemical stains are used for both interior and exterior so your driveway look can carry straight through to your garage floor.

Monday September 21, 2015 is International Peace Day.
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. It is sometimes unofficially known as World Peace Day. The day was first celebrated on Tuesday 21 September 1982. The theme of the first International Day of Peace was the Right to peace of all people.
International Peace Day is dedicated to world peace, and The United Nations “invites all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during the Day.”
As individuals we can take a moment on Monday to do a random act of kindness, simply something to brighten someone’s day. Speaking a kind word, writing a note of gratitude to someone you love, holding a door open for someone, lighting a candle, buying a coffee for the person in the vehicle behind you at your local cafe drive-thru, or simply acknowledging someone with a smile, are things we’re all capable of. The smallest act of nurturing inner peace can change the world one person at a time.
Enter today for a chance to win. The contest closes at noon on September 17.
