This large mural is one of many in Toronto's "Village of Murals", located along Dundas St. W. between Kipling and Islington. It was painted by John Kuna in 2006 and it depicts typical fall activities along Mimico Creek in 1920. Mimico Creek is truly an urban waterway,originating in Brampton, then traveling through Mississauga and Toronto before emptying into Lake Ontario at beautiful Humber Bay Park. As might be expected, water quality is generally poor but the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is working to change that. They provide programs such as workshops and guided walks within the watershed to help community members see how small changes can make big differences within the local environment.
