Popsilos Mural - Our youth, Our future by Lacey & Layla Art - theme: The Unity of all People 

Lacey and Layla created a mural that illustrates the Unity of all peoples. Canada has a rich history and culture that holds the heritage of its founding peoples. The mural is a positive outlook on the relationships its peoples will continue to build and nurture through time. A bright-eyed young girl represents the non-judgmental heart of young children and her expression is one of ambition and joy. The artists chose to include a Golden Eagle, a bird that lives in the area, that has an important significance for Indigenous peoples, one that is a symbol of leadership and clear vision. The circular sun ties together the girl and the eagle, creating that continuous unity that must be shaped by every new generation, between its peoples and between the Earth and its elements.

Cattails are also painted on the mural. They are significant to Indigenous peoples as a source of food, for its medicinal purposes and as a building material. Furthermore, the cattails are a nod to the owners of the farm who have planted them on their land to create a natural water purification system.

The concept of the mural was designed with the help of Indigenous artist, writer and scholar Camille Georgeson-Usher.
