You may have picked up Avenue Magazine this month to find Christy Morin, President of Arts On The Ave, featured as one of their “Top 40 Under 40″. You can read that article online at http://www.avenueedmonton.com/articles/page/item/christy-morin.
Or, perhaps you’ve been over to the City of Edmonton website, where The Avenue Initiative is featured with an image on the front page, linking to a story and a video about the exciting changes happening on Alberta Avenue these days.
