The Purpose
The purpose is to have a permanent mural installation that conveys the Indigenous roots, diversity, strengths, assets, and pride of our city through local photographer's photos. With the help of lead local artists Alex Powalinsky and Lisa Halsall, the chosen photographs will be collaged into a mural and installed on a local building (to be determined) with preference to outdoors.

We encourage submissions from artists that are typically underrepresented including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour), 2SLGBTQIA+ identifying individuals, deaf persons, and persons with disabilities. We also encourage submissions from youth.
