Greetings from City of Calgary Ward 3 Alderman Jim Stevenson
It is my distinct pleasure to extend warm greetings and best wishes to the Shen Yun dancers, choreographers, musicians, production and artistic staff. Thank you all for bringing this spectacular performance to the Calgary stage and for providing all of us in attendance the unique opportunity to share in such a rich cultural experience. Inspired by traditional Chinese culture, Shen Yun brings a lost heritage to life through the artistic forms of classical and ethnic Chinese dance and we are all fortunate to be part of this unique experience.
On behalf of the City of Calgary, I welcome the Shen Yun Performing Arts Troup to our City and wish them every success as they continue their tour.
Sincerely,
JIM STEVENSON
ALDERMAN, WARD 3
