DATELINE: Calgary
Good Day Mr., Mrs., and Ms. Rotary and all the ships at sea – Let’s Go To Press!
By Bill Avery
The glistening Crystal Ballroom of the Friendly and Fashionable Palliser Hotel. In a salute to Newfoundland, Michael Pierce and Manon Mitchell performed the rousing sea chantey I’se the Bye to underscore the entrance of our head table. President Rob called the meeting to order and the club kicked things of with a stirring version of our national anthem. Jennifer Lavier offered the invocation drawing upon a complex inspirational recitation reflecting on the blessings of life. At this juncture, luncheon was served.
Bruce Graham took the lectern to introduce our Guest Speaker – Mary Moran CEO Calgary Economic Development. Mary began by acknowledging that we live in a “different time” and a “challenging time”. Despite the radical shift in the marketplace, Mary says that we can continue to embrace “Be Part of our Energy” as a brand for our City.
Following that thinking, The City of Calgary’s 100 year strategy is to make Calgary –
