November Greetings to Ward 4 Residents!

As we transition into the month of November, I’d like to send my warmest greetings to all residents of Ward 4. With winter just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the beauty of the season and the strength of our community as we prepare for the months ahead.

As we embrace the crisp air and shorter days, it’s also time to start planning for one of Calgary’s most exciting winter events—Chinook Blast 2025. This annual celebration is calling for visionary artists, creators, and community partners to help bring the festival to life.

Chinook Blast 2025: A Call to Creators and Cultural Curators!

Calgary’s ultimate winter celebration is back—Chinook Blast 2025—and we’re looking for artists, creators, and partners to help light up the city!

Calling All Installation and Visual Artists

If you’re a sculptor, visual artist, or creator of immersive experiences, this is your chance to transform the festival into a stunning winter wonderland. We’re offering funding opportunities ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 for selected installations. In collaboration with the City of Calgary’s Winter City Design Competition, two installations will receive up to $45,000 each, designed to endure Calgary’s winter weather from January to March.

Seeking Market Partners

Do you have a passion for culture, community, and local artisans? We’re searching for three dynamic partners to host and execute a weekend market (Friday to Sunday) during Chinook Blast. These markets should offer unique cultural experiences, celebrating Calgary’s diversity and creativity.

For more details or to submit your proposal, visit chinookblast.ca.

As we prepare for winter, I wish everyone in Ward 4 a cozy and enjoyable November. Let’s make the most of this season and look forward to all the excitement that winter will bring!

Warm regards,

Sean Chu
