Art is everywhere in the city

Just back from Vancouver and cannot believe how people survive in that sea of moving bodies and hot concrete.  However, it rejuvenated me, made me think differently about our place, our purpose. Art is everywhere in the city.  Riding the bus made my neck hurt, I was always craning to get a look at some sculpture or creative water feature.  I have to focus more on public art for Salmon Arm.  Today City Council chooses the OCP Review committee members - I applied for one of the ten positions.  If I get on, public art is at the top of my agenda.  Making it part of the Official Community Plan is a priority, then getting continual funding - like the 1% of development budget idea that works in other communities.  If I don't get selected, City Council will be seeing a lot of me anyway, as I am on a mission!
