Shamrocks are popping up in communities all over Calgary but these ones have as much to do with St. Patrick's Day as they do with spreading joy during what has been a trying time for many.

For the past 21 years, Gerard Curran and his wife Anne have been hosting a St. Patrick's Day party at the Stephen Avenue bar.

If you want a more elevated St. Patrick's Day experience, one of the ways to do this is to grab some quality grub while you drink.

The parade will kick off at noon on Ste-Catherine Street in downtown Montreal.

Multiple warnings were also issued for smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm infractions.

For the love of the Ireland, put down the green beer.
