City Canvas: A Wonderful Surprise

Old Strathcona and Garneau are 2 of Edmonton’s oldest neighbourhoods and have many loyal residents who would never consider moving anywhere else. Meet business owner Mark Wilson who describes himself as a citizen of Strathcona. He grew up in the neighbourhood, and has never left.

Mark owns Vivid Print and also DJs on CJSR, Edmonton’s campus radio. He does a show Wednesday mornings with his brother, Kevin (Clockwork Orange Juice). He's been with the station for nearly 30 years as a volunteer DJ and, at times, as a board member

If you don’t know about the Garneau Tree or want to know how Mark got his start in radio and also in the art and print world, check out the videos below. Mark will tell you why Edmonton is a wonderful surprise.
