Carra, our MLA, Hon. Jonathan Denis, Ecole De La Source School's current and
upcoming Principals, the Calgary Horticulture Society and amazing support from
all 17 of the residents that live around the mural that we have been able to
talk to directly. We have left flyers at the houses of neighbours we could not
reach.

project has the support of Calgary Foundation, Calgary Economic Foundation and
Soul of the City and the Acadia Strong Neighbourhood Initiative.
