community spirit, volunteers, international/global community)- East
Entrance (16 Ave NE)
- Technology Centre: (progressive, high tech,
future oriented, entrepreneurial, innovative)- Airport Entrance (Barlow
Trail South)
"Calgary loves to welcome the world. These new signs
will welcome visitors for many years to come", comments Georgine Ulmer,
Promoting Calgary Inc. President & CEO. "In addition to welcoming visitors,
these signs will also mark the city's boundaries at the beginning of the
new millennium", states Carol Ryder, Calgary 2000 Executive Director.
The ideas competition will take place between September
27-November 27, 2000. Student competition packages are available at the
SAIT Information & Communications Technologies Department commencing September
