Last month, my son's class was lucky enough to participate in a pretty cool program called City Hall School, and I was lucky enough to be a parent volunteer (and take advantage of the opportunity to take some notes)! One of the best parts of our week was our visit with Mayor Nenshi, who talked with the students about a few things, including public art in Calgary's downtown, his plans for Canada Day this year, and his 3 Things for Canada initiative. In honour of the Mayor's Lunch, here are my sketchnotes from the class's meeting with him! Thanks Mayor Nenshi for your support of artists and arts champions in our city!
It's the Mayor's Lunch for Arts Champions today! And I am so proud to have been invited to attend by the kind folks at Calgary Reads, a wonderful non-profit that promotes children's literacy! I have been collaborating with them on a little project which I'll say more about in another month or two. In the meantime, I was realizing that I haven't been posting much in the last while, and what better occasion to finally put something here, than the Mayor's Lunch... especially something about the Mayor!

“If Breitkreuz and Foong [founders of the Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo] represent the Type-A side of Calgary's self-publishing community, Hester may be the community's right brain.” – Tom Babin, FFWD Magazine
“…A strong graphic style similar to other autobiographically-inclined Canadian cartoonists like Chester Brown and Julie Doucet.” – Gilbert Bouchard, Edmonton Journal
