Project of the Heart

1367

The Stony Plain Youth Centre participated in the National Project of the Heart initiative in 2013 to offer youth the opportunity to seek truth in education for a better understanding and relationship with Canada’s First People. Together the youth created a work of art to reflect the cultural teachings and honour survivors of Indian Residential Schools. The four-week program was repeated in 2021 leading up to the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. A ceremony was held in Shikaoi Park to honour the day and unveil the updated version of the mural containing many new tiles created by community youth.
