HAPPY PRIDE, CALGARY! Here’s to curiosity, community and colour 🏳️‍🌈.

Pride is about visibility, belonging, joy and standing together. What began as protest continues as a powerful celebration of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, uplifting q***r voices, challenging hate and creating space for people to live openly, authentically and proudly.

At TELUS Spark, we believe SCIENCE IS FOR EVERYONE 🥼.

Curiosity knows no boundaries, and belonging shouldn’t either. We’re proud to celebrate the incredible diversity of our staff, guests and supporters who lead with kindness, champion inclusion and help create a community where everyone can feel safe, welcome and free to be themselves.

Keep an eye out for the Spark crew in the Calgary Pride Parade! 🌈

A Calgary Stampeders game with a side of SCIENCE?! Now that’s a winning combo 🏈🧪💥

We brought the Spark to McMahon Stadium with live science and plenty of BIG reactions along the way.

From meeting families to sparking curiosity across the stadium, science definitely showed up for game day.

And the fun doesn’t stop there...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: THE ALBERTOSAURUS HAS A NAME 🦖🚨
 
After nearly 10 years of standing 30 feet tall outside in the Brainasium without a proper introduction, our beloved Albertosaurus finally has one.
 
Meet RUSTY! ⚙️
 
Calgarians came through with an incredible 1,200 name submissions, from clever and creative to wonderfully weird. After plenty of dino deliberation, Spark’s Dino Naming Council landed on the one that felt just right.
 
And the story gets even sweeter: Rusty was submitted by four-year-old Milan through one of the colouring sheets. The name felt like the perfect fit, playful, memorable and inspired by the sculpture’s rusty brown colour. It also gives us a fun way to get curious about things like why metal rusts, how materials change outdoors, and the engineering and recycled materials behind the sculpture.
 
Several people suggested the name Rusty, and Milan was randomly selected as the prize winner.
 
A big thank you to CF Chinook Centre and the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology for contributing prizes and helping us celebrate Rusty’s newest chapter.

Over the weekend, it was all about celebrating our volunteers 💙.

A very well-deserved thank you to our brilliant volunteers for all the time, energy and enthusiasm they bring. They’re a huge part of what makes Spark so special, and we’re incredibly lucky to have them as part of our community!

Gabby update! 🦖

Our Assembleasaurus is getting BIGGER AND BOLDER with every new piece added at outdoor BLUprint!

This summer, our guests have been putting their construction skills to work and helping bring Gabby to life one piece at a time 🔨.

Big thanks to EllisDon Corporation for their support of outdoor BLUprint and bringing hands-on learning to life.

What do you think Gabby needs next? 👀

And the winner is… 👀

Leila Severight, the artist behind Spark’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation staff T-shirt design.

Leila is a 22-year-old artist, musician and student, born and raised in Calgary. She is half Saulteaux from Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan and half Okanagan from her father’s family in B.C. Her connection to culture has been shaped by family, traditional ceremonies and her time at RIEL Institute, where she found a deeper sense of community and belonging.

At the heart of Leila’s artwork are the turtle and medicine wheel. The turtle represents truth because it is one of the oldest living creatures on Earth, witnessing creation, remaining unchanged and staying true to itself. The medicine wheel is formed by adults and children holding hands, representing unity not only within the circle, but across all lands: North, East, South and West. Surrounding the turtle, the figures also represent reconciliation and unity across Turtle Island, and the hope of living in harmony and peace within our communities.

We’re honoured to wear Leila’s design this September and to share the story and meaning behind her work 🧡.
