Ahh, the long weekend is here! We can’t wait for four days of staying at home after a hard week of, well, staying at home. But there’s no need to worry. You’re not getting bored this weekend because, even at home, there’s still tons to do! Don’t believe us? Just keep on reading and we’ll prove you wrong.
Here are 8 things to do at home this long weekend in Calgary.
STREAM NHL GAMES FOR FREE
Missing Canada’s favourite sport? There no need to worry! Just because the season is suspended, doesn’t mean you can’t watch NHL games. Just head on over to the NHL website to learn how to watch all your favourite games of the season. Plus it’s completely free all month long.
OR WATCH A WHOLE BUNCH OF STAR WARS MOVIES
Even if you don’t have Disney+, you can catch the entirety of the Star Wars franchise courtesy of the folks at Showcase. It’s a rare time when we recommend tuning into, gasp, cable television! What a wild ride!
CATCH EVEN MORE QUARANTINE CONCERTS
Yup, even more artists have jumped on the trend of #TogetherAtHome. We can’t say we’re complaining though. There are loads of concerts and musical benefits happening. All of which you can catch from the comfort of your own home. Check out another list of ’em here.
OR, STREAM SOME WEIRDER STUFF
One of the writers poked around the internet this week and came up with 7 weird (or interesting) live streams to check out. It’s a great list, and one we’re going to cycle back to a few times before this all blows over.
FANTASIZE ABOUT YOUR DREAM HOUSE
Sometimes it’s fun to go down the rabbit hole of imagining your dream property. What? We all do it. Well, if you want a little help narrowing down your search, check out these crazy Calgary properties. We wouldn’t mind being quarantined in one of these beautiful spots.
BECOME A SCIENTIST
Looking for something productive to do but already cleaned every room in your house twice? Don’t worry, you can be part of science experiments! This amazing website lets you take part in actual scientific research. There’s a ton of topics to choose from. Plus, you could have your name credited in actual science research papers. Ou la la, how fancy!
VIRTUALLY SWIM WITH SHARKS
Missing the great outdoors and craving a tropical vacation? Yeah, join the club. Well, we’ve found the next best thing! Right now, you can head on over to Ripley’s Aquarium’s Shark Cam. You’ll find yourself mesmerized by the calm swimming of the fish and the bright colours of the tank. It basically feels just like scuba diving! Except you’re at home. And not in water.
So there ya have it. There are so many ways to spend your weekend, you won’t even notice that you’ve lost all sense of time and purpose thanks to the state of the world right now! Have a great weekend, y’all.
