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.
