===Schanks Sports Club===

Since 1994, Schanks has been one of the go-to destinations for watching sports in Calgary. Over the years, Schanks has grown to include two locations in Calgary, one in the North (Crowfoot) and one in the South (Macleod Trail). Both locations feature pub-style food, drink specials, and big screen TVs, showcasing different sporting events. What distinguishes Schanks from other sports bars, however, is the activities they offer in addition to watching the game. Schanks offers a number of different games including mini golf, bowling, billiards, and trivia. They also provide board rooms for corporate events or off-site meetings. Schanks is a popular venue for team building activities, work functions, and even team fundraisers. All of these different functions of Schanks make it a great place to either watch the game or host an event. For more information on Schanks, visit their [http://www.schanks.com/home.asp website]

Calgary Economic Development (CED) is proud to launch a new online resource targeted at longtime Calgarians as well as people considering a move to the area; [http://www.liveincalgary.com LiveInCalgary.com].

Quality of life and the experiences Calgary has to offer are increasingly important for all Calgarians as well as those considering moving here. CED`s workforce development initiative, CalgaryWorks, is focused on ensuring Calgary businesses have the talent they need to be successful into the future. Employers have repeatedly requested support with providing accurate and timely information about communities and lifestyle as they expand their workforces and strive to attract and retain talent into the Calgary area.

“As baby boomers retire and economic growth resumes, employers’ underlying challenges around the attraction
and retention of workers will reemerge,” said Elsbeth Mehrer, Manager Workforce Development, Calgary
Economic Development.

“LiveinCalgary.com not only enables candidates to make informed decisions about moving to Calgary but it also
assists newcomers with meeting some of the immediate needs associated with settling. In addition the site will help remind and inform Calgarians of all the region has to offer and this helps us all engage in our community and retain our talent in Calgary.”

Rich in content, the site features an interactive photo gallery called Picture Yourself which allows site users to explore attractions and locations in and around the city as well as an interactive map which provides information and links about communities and neighbourhoods. In one place, users can identify how to get a driver’s license, secure a rental apartment and register their children in school as well as learn more about the breadth of arts, culture and recreation opportunities that set life in Calgary apart.
