This project is working toward urban renewal. World acclaimed “Muralist Michelle Loughery” is part of the non-profit that runs this program.The youth project while not on the scale of the Very succesful “peace corp” of the US 1960’s era and is more local, however the scope of the artist is out and about the world so its effect goes beyond our doors.  This particular work is off the parking lot and Garcia Street side of the local  First Nations administration building  many of the participants and the  person in the picture is a member of the  First Nations, Michelle has authored numbers of country music star’s murals and an inclusive mosaic at the local museum.
