A Moment That Made Me Go WOW!: Holly Perkins – University of Calgary

“The Northern Lights - on my penultimate night in Calgary, all hope of seeing the Northern Lights had almost been lost. Luckily one of my friends had checked the forecast and convinced me to go and look one last time. Not only did we get to see them, we didn't even have to leave the university campus! This was the view from just outside our accommodation  - a huge tick on my bucket list!”
