The end of the "Party of the Century"

Mount Royal University is done with its 100 year anniversary.  Believe it or not, we're older than the University of Calgary (hi there, junior!) and finished up the end of an 18 month party.

We kicked off with a fireworks celebration
And ended it with the unveiling of a special mosaic that was commissioned from around 200 artists.  Each person worked on a single panel according to guidelines they were given by a coordinator.  The panels individually depict historic persons or events and together form a picture of George Kerby, the first principal of Mount Royal College.  Here it is:
Congratulations Mount Royal.  After 100 years you've left a legacy to the community and have matured into Canada's Newest Oldest University.
