Notice of Street Renaming

At their regular meeting on Monday, January 16th, City Council passed a bylaw to:

  • rename Saskatchewan Avenue, including Highway 3 west and Highway 6 south, to "Saskatchewan Drive" to link together and brand the highway commercial district.

September 1st - 29th, 2012

"Lying on the couch listening to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" I wondered how the composer had come to the understanding necessary to produce such a work of art. My mind began to drift and I thought of the photographic images and framing I would need to produce my own Beethoven Sonata, in a visual form. With this inspiration I continued working on works of art of my own which I hope will also transcend time and space."
