Megumi Yoshida - Member Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize an outstanding community member, Megumi Yoshida. Meg is a multi-disciplinary artist originally from Osaka, Japan. Her talents range from graphic design - I have worked with her as a colleague and freelance employer - to photography to drumming.

She is a self-taught experimental musician whom you will have seen on stages across the city in bands such as Bad Vibrations, Century Egg, Diamondtown, Dog Day, Not You, Shoulder Season, and The Reference Desk. She is an integral thread in the artistic fabric that makes Nova Scotia such a wonderful place to live in.

I ask all members of the Nova Scotia Legislature to join me in recognizing Meg Yoshida for the many years of creativity she has given to our province.
