With the theme of Clean Water and Clean Air, local artists and youth are creating a six-foot by four-foot, hand-painted mural at the Bloomfield House Community Centre that expresses the reasons they love Canada.

Bloomfield House partnered with VIBE Arts, an award-winning charitable organization, on the project.

Known as the 150+ Reasons We Love Canada national art project, it was initiated by Toronto-based VIBE Arts, which is helping to create 60 murals across every province and territory this year.

Teejai Travis, Bloomfield House’s founder, said the drop-in style event – scheduled for the next couple of Saturdays from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. – is focused mostly on youth but everyone from the community is invited to come and participate.
