Since reading the course syllabus, I have been wracking my brain trying to think what might inspire my petition. Thanks to this week's news about Edmonton's imperilled McDougall Church, my inspiration struck early—causing some extra stress in terms of my selfies assignment and my paper for COMM506.
I sing and volunteer with Edmonton's Kokopelli Choir Association, and McDougall has been our main rehearsal and performance venue for years. I also think Edmonton has a terrible record when it comes to preserving our built heritage.
The McDougall issue definitely has its thorny side, but bottom line, we must find a way to save this building. I think we're a smart enough city to succeed in this.
Yesterday I joined the strategy group for Friends of McDougall Church, and proposed that my little homework assignment form part of their campaign. I worked with them on the wording of the petition, and earlier this morning ... voilà! Please take a minute to sign!
