Maple Lane elementary students and staff gathered today to celebrate the unveiling of a new mural.
The mural is part of the city’s Community Mural Program, funded by both the city and community project partners. Maple Lane principal Lisa Schwartz said the mural’s inspiration came from local animals and plants. In addition to work by artist Jean Bradbury, it also includes some components painted by students.
“The mural reminds us to take care of nature and animals,” said one student at the unveiling ceremony.
Mayor Malcolm Brodie and a number of city councillors were also in attendance and formally unveiled the mural by cutting a ribbon.
