Mural
Community centres bring people together in a safe and welcoming space. Having access to resources, programs, and different perspectives from neighbours allows people the opportunity to discover and explore themselves, ultimately finding their own path in life.
The main design element in Take a Step is a path. Pathways are not always linear as there can be twists, turns and obstacles. More often than not, we are walking a similar path to our neighbour and don’t even recognize it. Sometimes the path is unclear, hidden, or can disappear and come back into focus. It is because of this that the path is illustrated as a rainbow that weaves its way through nature, connecting activities, building relationships and elevating the community at large. We invite viewers of the mural to Take a Step into the stories that this vibrant community has to offer and explore both the natural and social landscape that exists here at Mountainside.
