The addition of new images to the mural is part of our goal to renew the content of the Creative Commons wall every year. This year’s workshop took place on October 14th, despite the pouring rain and the cold. Congratulations to all the youth and children who braved the weather, thank you to all the parents who helped, and to our Ward IV councillor, Tammy Hwang, who supported the endeavour in person as well as financially through her office.

For the renewal of the imagery in spring 2025, 18 students from W.H. Ballard Elementary school explored the natural environment of their urban neighbourhood. Their imagery visualizes conservation, and embeds the value of the pipeline that brings clean water to the city of Hamilton from Lake Ontario. 

During ten visual art sessions with 3 Hamilton artists, WH Ballard students practiced drawing, painting, designing patterns, and laying out the visual content for all eight panels. They then painted the entire mural in one day.
