The City of Burlington invites First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists, groups and artist-led teams living in Halton Region (Burlington, Oakville, Milton, and Halton Hills) to submit an expression of interest to create a mural for the Mountainside Recreation Centre.
The City is partnering with the Burlington Indigenous Talking Circle to create a gathering space at Mountainside Recreation Centre (2205 Mt Forest Dr.). This room will provide space for First Nations ceremonies and Indigenous activities, such as beading and skirt-making. The goal is to create dedicated space for local Indigenous arts and culture to flourish in Burlington, honouring the history and importance of the Indigenous community in Burlington.
