Today we'll finish Urban Harmony. What an amazing project. I think this week really topped it off for me. We recorded audio with Wab Kinew. Wab is a very successful Aboriginal Rapper. And it really hit home for me what I'm trying to achieve with Urban Harmony. I wanted to express my belief in the positives of different people from different cultures making up the fabric of our city. Winnipeg has had some particularly difficult times of late in the media - there has been some ugly violence taking place and it has shone a very disturbing light on us. But I know, that each and every day, solid, honest citizens go about their business - many working hard to make things better. The vast majority of people DO get along and DO contribute and display random acts of kindness and DO live harmoniously. Wab mentioned in his Twitter that he made me cry during the audio session. And it's true. Especially when he tributed Olaf and wished him well. Because that's where this all started.
Wab raps about a respect for varying cultures and a commitment to peace and harmony. Who better to be a part of this project.
We'll be taking to the streets this morning to shoot Wab for the music video and to do a quick interview for his UH profile.
We'll also collect some video of Alexander West who lends his musical talents in a violin riff to the chorus. And, Vina will join us for her interview and to capture a little more video of this 9 year old singing sensation.
Antiphony, Ben Wytinck and Elyon were completed last week.
In other news, working on the new credit union brand for a merger taking place between two credit unions in Saskatchewan, new Edwards School of Business profiles nearing completion as well as the documentary of the project, an H1N1 campaign developed for the Northwest Company and Paradigm Consulting and Amanda's been working steadily on the Victoria Hospital newsletter and calendar.
Next week we jump into Christmas with Grant Park Shopping Centre.
With luck, an approval to move forward with a new Just Slow Down campaign and we keep hoping we can look ahead with our Leaders and Healers project.
All in all, things are certainly looking promising.
