2017 Marks the 150th Birthday of Canada!
In commemoration of this historical year, the Town of Pelham will be working with the Canada 150 Mosaic Mural team, which is composed of three Canadian artists. The Mosaic Mural team has launched a two-year project involving all of Canada’s territories and provinces. This project will result in over 80,000 paintings and 150 individual murals that when united will form one gigantic mural mosaic. The goal is that by July, 2017 150 Murals will be created in 150 Communities across Canada!
