As one of the older communities in Calgary, Rundle is rich in cultural diversity and stories of immigration, friendships, and hospitality that connect the community. Artist Karen Ho Fatt designed three distinct sofas to represent Rundle's diversity and hospitality while reflecting on those who might live there. The traditional style bench represents those who have lived in the community for a long time and immigrant families who tend to have their elderly relatives living with them. The transitional style piece represents those who travel between the old and new generations; it connects the old with the new. The modern style piece is fun and playful in appearance. It reflects the younger generation born in Canada and newcomers to the community.
