In January 2012, the south portion of Allan Gardens was fenced off to act as the main construction site for the city’s water main replacement project. As the site will remained fenced off until 2015, Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam pushed for the construction hoarding to be beautified. The result is the Nindinawemaaganidok / "All My Relations" Mural. Covering almost 220 meters, this wall is the work of 21 community artists and depicts local and national indigenous history. Funding for the project was provided by C&M McNally Engineering.

The artists: Natasha Naveau, Rosary Spence, Gwen Lane, Angela Malley, Judy Rheume, Gary M. Johnston, Amanda Murray, Rebecca Baird, Cotee Harper, Graham Curry, Briana Stone, Lyndsey Lickers-Nyle Johnston, Isaac Weber, Honey Smith, Shelby Rain McDonald, Paula Gonzalez-Ossa, Kalmplex, Adrion Corey Charles, Ron Razor and Steven Henderson.
