Foregrounding/Backgrounding Both of these tools refer to the writer actively drawing attention either toward or away any given concept. Typically, Calgary Herald journalists gave textual prominence towards voices and ideas that pushed industry protection and dismissed claims made by environmentalists. Even throughout my initial reading of the data, emphasis was almost always placed on the economic costs of climate change policies prior to making mention of the inevitable environmental consequences

Assignment 1: Crisis Situation Assignment The Cause This summer I had the opportunity to enroll in a practicum with the Calgary Police Service. One call in particular involved a domestic dispute over child custody, and the officer and I were the first to arrive on the scene. We approached the residence and herd shouting from the front door. At this point it is apparent the conflict between the parties has been ongoing for some time. The officer and I called for an additional patrol vehicle, and

The sole qualification for writing a love letter is that you feel the love and want to express it. That’s the beauty of it. But it would be trite and probably false to say that as an expat, I can love Canada more truly (observe: Gord Downie).

If you arrive by car, obviously you can use your vehicle while you stay in Banff, but if you are flying in to nearby Calgary, you may want to rent a car here in Banff. There are several car rental agencies in town near the major hotels. Although you can rent a car at the airport in Calgary, there are buses that will take you to Baff from the airport.
