The North Central Community Association has partnered with the Rainbow Youth Centre on a new mural in the heart of North Central.
The mural, which was unveiled over the weekend, covers the southside of the youth centre and was painted by local artist Geanna Dunbar.
Officials with the community association and the youth centre said it was made possible by the support of the city.
The association had been calling for something to be done in the community to represent community and youth.
Youth in the community were able to help out with creating the piece.
“It’s so important that the youth in our community take part in projects like this,” said Jacqui Wasacase, the executive director of the Rainbow Youth Centre.
"The concept started last fall. The actual painting of the mural and developing the mural started in the spring of this year,” Pat Faulconbridge, the executive director of the North Central Community Association, said.
