Back in 2015 as part of the lead up to the Pan Am Games, a section of the Humber River Recreation Trail was designated as part of the Pam Am Path system, and various events were held and improvements undertaken along the route. These birds are part of a much larger mural entitled Born This Way painted on the section of the trail that passes beneath the 401.

This is one small section of a long, beautiful mural painted this May by Essencia Art Collective. As the title suggests, the mural seeks to address discrimination based on sexual orientation and it is yet another legacy of the Pan Am games being hosted here. Like the vuducatz work featured a few weeks ago, it's located on the Pam Am Path, where the Humber River Recreation Trail passes under the 401, just south of Pine Point Park.
