Bittersweet memories: Hot chocolate festival comforts Calgary womanKatie Klingvall's mom recently passed away, but Klingvall is making sure she continues an annual mother-daughter adventure involving Calgary's hot chocolate festival.
It's something she and her mother, Gillian Klingvall, started doing about five years ago, getting lost as they searched for the city's best cup of cocoa. This year though, she's traveling around with just her mother's photo, continuing the tradition without her.The Homestretch"I wanted to honour her in a way, and so it was great motivation and also, to a degree, distraction, of doing these many and taking her again on another adventure.
"It's nice because I take a moment to reflect on her and think about what she would have thought about it," she said. A few dollars from each purchase supports Calgary Meals On Wheels, which aims to supply nutritious, affordable meals to anyone who needs them. "I mean, probably the amount that I've done, she'd say, like, good heavens, which I don't blame her … I will say I don't finish them all," she laughed.
Konnor Weed, event coordinator with Calgary Meals on Wheels, said he's heard of people travelling down from Edmonton to sample the frothy creations during the festival, or businesses taking a field trip during their lunch hour, but Klingvall might be their biggest fan.
