Common Ground YYC – S3E2: Jennifer Thompson – Fort Calgary

Support LWC on Patreon

In the latest Common Ground YYC podcast, LWC editor Darren Krause sits down with Fort Calgary president, Jennifer Thompson.

Thompson took on the role in mid-February, and she’s got a renewed vision for the spot, even suggesting that the grounds around Fort Calgary could be Calgary’s Central Park.

Darren and Jennifer go on a journey; they go back in time to learn what influenced her as a youth, the adult path that led her to the City of Calgary and the tumultuous Calgary public art program, and into her vision for a renewed – and reconciliatory – Fort Calgary.
