Earlier today, Haldimand County staff, Members of Council, and Friends of LaFortune Park members gathered to celebrate the completion of a community mural and public art piece.
The mural, located in LaFortune Park in the Haldimand Road 54 underpass tunnel, was completed over the course of several weeks this summer by local artists Gina McIntee, Frances Porter, and young artists Maisie, Terri, and Kiannah.
The hand-painted mural depicts the lush beauty of the LaFortune forest and the Grand River shoreline, including many species of animals and plants that are native to the area. People are shown enjoying many activities, including disc golf, kayaking, and picnicking.
This project is a great example of what can be achieved when community members come together to celebrate local culture, foster community pride and beautify the natural spaces we all share.
