"Shivani is a team leader and player, an initiator, and is skilled at seeing a project through to its completion. She has a precise eye for detail, and is an absolute joy to work with. Because of Shivani, the projects we have done together shine. She gets the job done like no other!"

YYC POP: PORTRAITS OF PEOPLE is an open call out to the community, the entire city and the world, from Calgary’s Poet Laureate, Sheri-D Wilson. This Legacy Project invites all Calgarians – whether writers or not – to create a portrait in the form of a poem, prose poem or snapshot / flash fiction – of someone they know who lives and works in Calgary. YYC POP explores: Who are we? What is our identity as a city? Who are the people that live here? And what are their stories? Submissions were curated by a jury of professional writers, and selected portraits were published in a hard-copy anthology released in 2020.
