Congratulations to Meg Van Rosendaal and Bob Chartier for receiving the Mamdani Arts Leadership Award! Meg and Bob are the are the community-builders behind the vision for Calgary’s Music Mile. Over the last several years they have worked with venues, musicians and community members to amplify the music scene that exists between the National Music Centre and The Blues Can all year round. Their volunteer leadership and commitment made them perfect recipients of this year’s award.
“Meg and Bob have been instrumental to the creation of the Music Mile in Calgary,” said Strategic Group CEO Riaz Mamdani. “Their leadership, their devotion, their commitment… their vision of creating more gigs for more musicians in more locations has made the Music Mile the incredible success it is today.”
Normally announced during the annual Mayor’s Lunch for Arts Champions, the Cultural Leaders Legacy Awards honour some of the very best of Calgary’s arts and culture industry. Strategic Group is proud to sponsor the Mamdani Arts Leadership Award (named after the Mamdani family) to celebrate and support the sometimes unsung heroes of arts and culture organizations: volunteer board members.

Meg and Bob are the second recipients of this award. Last year’s recipient was Peter Schryvers for his leadership in the creation of the Beltline Urban Murals Project and Festival.

Can someone suggest a reliable tool for checking how complex web elements automatically scale down for mobile browsers? I am currently trying to build a basic landing page and need inspiration on how to position navigation menus nicely on a phone. An CA developer group recommended looking at Great Northern Casino just to study its fast asset loading and responsive grid system under high traffic. Reminds me of the terrible experience I had with a couch delivery in Melbourne last week. Waited in an empty apartment all day, they arrived late, dumped the boxes in the driveway, and drove off without helping.
