“As a deeply proud Calgarian and avid fan of Bow Valley College, there was no other answer but an enthusiastic "yes" when asked if I could help create a citizen led campaign to finance student scholarships. The City Maker campaign is born from folks like me who understand a great city is one where everyone has a chance to thrive. Education is often a critical key to making that happen. When we can remove barriers so that people can attend school, we open doors to a better future."

- Shannon Bowen-Smed, Founding Champion
