New murals put up in Calgary’s Chinatown

This summer I volunteered at the Calgary Chinese Community Service Association and we painted murals to go up around the community with the help of many of the children from summer camp. After two months of hard work the murals were finally put up late last month. The aim of these murals is both to reflect the history and culture of the Calgary Chinatown community as well as a prevention for graffiti. Here are some pictures of the murals!

If you ever stroll through China town be sure to keep your eyes out for these!
