This past weekend had us taking portraits of a truly inspirational man. Arshad Mahmood is standing for Councillor at the Mississauga City Council for Ward 4.
He's done amazing things for the city of Mississauga, Ontario, and has only recently launched his political career. I could present a long list of achievements, but most notably, he is one of the founders of the Mosaic Festival. The festival and eventually the Square has come to create opportunities for hundreds of artists and add millions of dollars to the local economy. Having served as the Associate Director on Canadian National Exhibition and being a lifetime member of CNEA Arshad opted to support the local art scene by joining the board of Art Gallery of Mississauga. He has served as the Director, Vice President and eventually as President of the Board of Directors of AGM.
In addition to that, Arshad's passion for volunteerism and his hard work for the communities he lives in has won him the Mayor Hazel McCallion Volunteer of the Year Award in 2012 and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013.
So, it was a real pleasure to work with a true 'man of action', as they say. Here are some of our favourite images!
