Calgary's Givin' Back: Art Show Poppin' Off with Vibes & Premier Flexes at G7 Summit 🎨🤝🌍

My Friend Dave Art Show: It's a Vibe

Yo, Calgary fam! Heads up – there's a whole art show going down in Glenbrook. It's all about the "My Friend Dave" program, where people who've been through some stuff (like homelessness, lockup, or kicking bad habits) get to express themselves through art, writing, and even making docs. It's gonna be lit.

This ain't just any show, tho. It's also a memorial for Dave Lanza, one of the OGs who started the program. He passed away recently, so it's a chance to show some love and remember him. The show's gonna have everything from cooking to sick sculptures and paintings. And yeah, there'll be food vendors, so come hungry!

Peeps who've been part of the program, like Steve and Dennis Dionne, Jay Blondeau, and Jason Laplante, are saying it's been a game-changer, giving them a community and a place to belong. Real talk, it's all about lifting each other up.

Alberta Premier at G7 Summit: Big Boss Moves

Meanwhile, up in Kananaskis, the G7 summit's about to pop off. Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith is gonna be greeting all the world leaders at the airport in Calgary. She's also hosting a boujee reception for reps from countries that aren't even in the G7. Sis is doing the most!

Apparently, this ain't her first rodeo. She's been doing the international relations thing for a minute, even chilling with Trump at his place in Florida way back when. This time, she'll be meeting with the Prime Ministers of Australia and India, and the President of Brazil. Alberta's tryna make connections and show the world what's good.
