The Opening Reception, held on Wednesday March 28th, 6 – 9 pm. was well attended with guest speakers Donna Tranquada, formerly of CBC Radio and Dr. Faisal Moola, Director General of the David Suzuki Foundation, Ontario and Canada’s North.
Awards for the best three Mega Quarry posters were presented to Joanna Lu, Anton Mwewa and Man Yan Ashley Yip. Honorable mentions were presented to Elvis Shao, Zhi Gao, Paul Bernier and Lauren Livingston. Congratulations to all students.

SO cool guys! Any way you can add credit info for who the students are that created this work? Would love to know their names, year and programs.
I am interested in purchasing one of the posters that was on display this past weekend at the Green Living Show. How would I go about contacting the artist?
You can contact professor Linda Montgomery at lmontgomery@faculty.ocadu.ca. Thanks for your interest!
