The City of Calgary is encouraging its citizens to celebrate their natural resources in a new way. The Celebration of the Bow River 2010 features six artists who are each putting on an event to highlight “connection to the river” and “create opportunities for citizens to further appreciate and protect” the Bow.
On June 12, Peter Von Tisenhausen will be holding his event, launching 100 hand-carved boats into the river. From 10am to 4pm on Saturday in Douglasburn Park, you are invited to join in the experience, and consider connections between “life and water cycles, stewardship, consciousness and spirit”.
