For all of you interested in the outcome for the ongoing saga of the mural on our window...
The mural gets to stay!!!!
We won! we won!! we won!!!
After almost 2 years, 86 billion trips downtown, not to mention mortgaging the house in parking fees, the City of Calgary Development Appeal Board has granted a relaxation for us to keep our mural.
I would like to personally thank each and every person who helped us in our quest for community beautification. To all who supported us, by signing our petition, sending your letters, emails and even monetary donations. From both clients and neighbouring businesses, and the media that brought National support.
A very Personal thank you to Christopher Davis “lawyer about town” for all his pro bono legal counsel. You rock Dude!!!
And an extra recognition to Dean Geddes, who helped me stay organized. Lord knows I needed It.!!! Thanks Dean!! Thanks also go to the City Appeal board for their leniency and letting Calgary be beautified.
And above all, I am indebted to Donna for not deporting me.
(I told you it would work. I just didn’t know it would take twice as long and be twice as much.)
Thank you all.
Doug
