Curbside – Bringing Art to the Streets

Mark Sager — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:01:52 +0000

We are fortunate in West Vancouver to have a number of annual events, such as the Harmony Arts Festival and Community Day, which bring us together to celebrate our dynamic and creative community. I would like to share with you an idea that I hope will foster this same sense of community all year round. We have a number of bus stops in West Vancouver, which have recently changed our everyday landscape and are now a part of daily routines. I hope that together we can turn these advertizing spaces into canvases for local artists. Curbside will make its pilot run during the 2012 Harmony Arts Festival, displaying artwork by Ross Penhall and Corey Creed among other local artists. My hope is that Curbside will soon provide space for students, emerging artists, and local groups to engage directly with the community and to enhance the beauty and public value of our communal urban environment.

Check out a video by Daniel Wainryb about the project:

It was great to be able to MC for the North Shore Disability Resource Centre’s annual benefit concert on Saturday, October 22^nd, which featured an outstanding performance by “Spirit of the West.” The Vancouver-based band played to a sold-out audience—another wonderful event for a really important cause!

Gran Fondo Whistler 2011

On Sunday, September 25, I participated in RBC’s second annual Gran Fondo Whistler, a mass cycling event that took place along the 122 km stretch from Vancouver to Whistler. Gran Fondo translates as “big ride” in Italian and these all-level cycling events are now popular all over the Europe. The ride from Sea to Sky was absolutely breath-taking. We climbed 2400 metres to Squamish, before riding on a descent into Whistler Village. It was a great day!

I would like to welcome to my building at 1495 Marine Drive Suzanne St. John Smith. She is a very professional and talented Psycotherapist. She just moved her practice here from Ontario and I think she is a great addition to the North Shore. Her website is www.stjohnsmith.ca.

Our New Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia

I am not sure how the selection process is undertaken, but however it is done it works! On Friday October 30th, 2009 The Honourable Chief Justice R. J. Bauman was formally introduced to the public. It was great to be there to witness the event, I am proud to know our new Chief Justice at my former principle, as a mentor and friend. There can be no doubt that he has the univeral respect of those of us in the legal profession. He is a person of high intellect, with a caring personality and always balanced with a wonderful sense of humour. Our Province will be very well served!

Many Thanks!

Well I would be remiss if I did not start by saying a huge thank you to my friend Jeffrey Andersen for not only his great friendship but also for bringing me into the technological world! He is the creator of both this web site and our new www.sagerllp.com web site. So if you are looking for a brilliant creative mind then he is your man. He also directed this amazing music video called “Dominoes”, check it out . So thanks Buddy!

On another note of thanks yesterday was a most exciting day, as I fulfilled one of my life time dreams – I passed my IFR exam. For those non flyers in the group this stands for Instrument Flight Rules, which now allows me to fly in the clouds and jet ways. So my sincere thanks go out to Mike Harris my always patient and rather demanding flight instructor! Thanks Mike! Also I would like to thank my examiner Ron Harcus from Canadian Flight School at Boundary Bay cfc.com. After landing the plane and taxing in I looked over at Ron and said to him “the silence is killing me”, he looked over and said, “don’t worry you did just fine”! What a great feeling.

So once again thank you!
