CALGARY – As we near the one year anniversary of June’s devastating flooding in Calgary, Mayor Naheed Nenshi is asking children to send their flood-related artwork to City Hall.
All kids age 12 and under are invited to send in their drawings and photos to share their experiences during the flood.
The artwork will be displayed in the Municipal Building, online and at various locations throughout Calgary.
Nenshi says he hopes the artwork will help us celebrate the spirit of Calgary.
“The flood of 2013 hit Calgary hard and we recognize some Calgarians have faced extremely difficult times this past year,” says Mayor Nenshi. “But the flood also saw our community spirit grow stronger. One of the ways we want to remember June 20, 2013 and recognize that community spirit is by calling on the children of Calgary to show us their experience of the flood through art and photography. We’ll look back while moving forward with hope and optimism.”
This artwork will be unveiled June 20, 2014.
