Each month in writing “A View to the Past,” I aim to delve into the history of a local historical hotspot or attraction to inform and inspire Airdronians. In light of the holiday season, I reached out to Michelle Pirzek, coordinator of the Airdrie Festival of Lights, to learn more about the history of the yearly attraction which boasts approximately 1,000 festive-coloured light displays in Nose Creek Regional Park each December.

If you are looking for an immensely talented local act, look no further than Airdrie’s Kyle McKearney. On Sept. 3, he released his newest single titled Sweet Summer Rain.
