An Urban Picnic Experience

Thanks again to everyone who joined us at our very first Pop-Up Picnic of 2015. We had a great time at the Bankers Hall “Turtle Park” and we were very happy to be joined by Jazz YYC, the Calgary Chess Club, Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut Bankers Hall, and Good Earth Cafe. We had a great turnout and we are very excited for the rest of the seasons.
