Dorothy Peacock Elementary
Inspired by their winning project which creatively repurposed waste into imaginative robot sculptures, this mural depicts a small selection of the students' robots and made use of similar repurposed waste to create patterning throughout the mural. The final design was painted with Ms. Leilani Langer's Grade 5 class during the spring of 2018.

Think Global, Act Local
This mural was designed in collaboration with students from Richmond Heights Secondary School. Students’ contour drawings of plastic bags suggest new topographies layered atop a shoreline map of the Lower Mainland. Meant to inspire action while illuminating the consequences of denial, the text and imagery reflect the students’ sense of urgency and importance for local action to be made today to collectively create an environmentally sustainable tomorrow.

A.R. MacNeill Secondary
Inspired by their winning project Green Thumbs, this mural was designed using the students' thumbprints and blind contour drawings of each other. The final design was painted with the Business Department during the spring of 2017.
