COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBOURS BLOSSOMING VOICES

Meaning: The idea for the mural resulted from a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design – safety audit completed in 2021 to prevent graffiti. The concepts for three murals were informed by consultations with young people in the community during bike safety clinics and outreach at parks. Bristol boards were given to youth groups and left at drop-ins in the community. The Carlington Community Health Centre’s Health Promotion Team provided support on consulting and assisting during painting days. 

Partners: Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Paint it Up Program, Multicultural Arts for Schools and Communities (MASC), The Carlington Community Health Centre, OCH’s Community Capital Fund
