At Refind Decor, patina doors become door hall stands, glass doorknobs become coat hooks and weather-beaten windows become elegant pin boards and chalkboards. Even the coffee tables are made of reclaimed wood. Local artisan, Jonica Bullock, says each item has a practical beauty and incorporates her personal taste and love for surroundings that are both visually attractive and organized.

I believe this article for SAIT Alumni Link Magazine was my absolute favourite to research and write. It outlines the accomplishments of a beloved Calgarian, Art Smith.
Often affectionately referred to as Mr. Calgary, Art Smith's life-long philanthropic activities led to his induction as the first Honorary Colonel for 4 Wing Cold Lake air force squadron. Although he was known as a local avionics legend, Smith's extensive charitable activities are perhaps what defined him best.
