Calgary: The Savvy Guide to March

You just can’t count on March for anything. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows. It’s not always winter but it’s not yet spring. Neurotic, perhaps, but there is still lots to do. Here’s our guide to making the most of the month.
DO
Plant some seeds indoors (vegetables or herbs work well) in preparation for spring planting.
Why? It’s nice to watch something live and grow while everything outside looks a bit bleak. The real fun will happen when you transplant your new friend outside and watch it flourish and bear fruit (or vegetables).

GO
Strap on your skates before the big melt and take a turn around the outdoor ice arena at Heritage Park. The synthetic ice rink (amazingly yes, you can skate on plastic panels) gets dismantled on March 9.
Why? The faux-ice at this outdoor rink is still intact while many natural ice surfaces are melting away. Located outside park gates, skating is free to the public.

GET
A really good doormat like this one or this one.
Why? Because March is the worst month for trekking dirt and mud through the house. A good mat can help save your floors (and your sanity).

PLAY
The Tray Memory Game.
Why? It’s genius in its simplicity, fun and cheap. It might even help your kids develop their minds (back to the genius part).
