On September 17, AARCS Calgary hosted its annual Jail & Bail event. Our beloved Max joined local celebrities like Harvey the Hound and Batman in jail with a goal of raising $3500 in bail money to help his furry friends! We also collected approximately $1000 in donated wish list items across all 3 of our campuses!
Thank you to everyone that contributed. We surpassed our goals and donated more than $5000 in total to help the AARCS foundation!

Improve Your Studying by Setting a Schedule STUDYTIP! STUDYTIP!
We all know that famous phrase “I’ll get to it soon” or “I have plenty of time, I’ll do it later” – this isn’t really a very good study strategy. Then things come up and life gets in the way and you’re pressured or run out of time. A much better strategy is to intentionally plan study sessions as soon as you know your quiz or exam dates.
Look at your calendar and schedule specific times to devote to studying. It is best to aim to study a bit each day to keep the content fresh in your mind and to avoid really long hard study sessions, but other commitments may require that some study sessions are longer than others.
ImproveStudying: SetaSchedule
For those harder classes or classes worth more credits – give yourself more time to study for these to ensure you are familiar with the material before exam day. If you give yourself even just 30 minutes a day to review the content, you’d be surprised at how much more confident you’ll feel come exam day, without the added stress of cramming at the last minute. And 30-minute study sessions are easier to fit into a busy schedule than multiple hours. It is also proven that these short frequent study sessions help you retain more information for a longer period of time.

Shelley - Starting a New Career at 52
Shelley’s massage therapy journey began when she was working in the medical field as a nurse. As much as she loved her work, she found herself unhappy with the extremely competitive and demanding job.
The strict schedules and physically strenuous work also played a part in her desire to make a change. She still wanted to pursue a career in a medical profession, as it was always her passion, but she wanted to go
Shelley now has the financial freedom to do the things she loves the most. She purchased her dream truck, opened a home-based clinic for her clients, and her business has taken off and expanded to offer mobile massage therapy as well!
