Each year, the City of
goes through a public consultation process on the annual budget. For the 2008
budget, the City Choices survey was expanded by
to provide citizens with a wider range of choices, and an opportunity to
comment on issues the city hasn’t addressed in its own survey.
COPE thanks

Chelsea Johnson!
Lordy, lordy, COPE is forty! Join COPE
friends, members, candidates and elected old and new for a night of great

What: COPE 40th Anniversary Bash
Who: Wyckham Porteous, Aaron Nazrul
and Chelsea Johnson with COPE friends
Wyckham is a veteran
singer-song writer, poet and playwright.
His latest album was produced by Andrew Oldham, former manager and producer of
the Rolling Stones, and Wyckham’s performance will come on the heels of its
Canadian release. Wyckham is also known for his hit play Joe’s Cafe
and as co-founder of the Buried Heart Project. www.wyckhamporteous.org.
Aaron is a rising star on the
music scene. He combines original folk, Latin and classic covers. Aaron’s first
full release "Butterfly Man" has had great reviews across the country
and an excellent reception at the Edinburgh Music Festival. www.myspace.com/aaronnazrul.
Chelsea Johnson has visited the Cross Roads, where she spoke to the Devil. As
she sat down to share his stool and cig he whispered, "use your power, take
your responsibility." With songs like, "Walking and
Talking," "I feel so
blue" and "Keep ’em safe," she must have been using her powers
right. With voice, guitar and the Dirty Blues Chelsea opens herself up and
shares with all of us.
