Thanks for support to: Italian Bakery, Boyle McCauley Health Clinic, e4c McCauley Apartments Tenants’ Association, City of Edmonton (Edmonton Intercultural Centre), Mike Siek Productions, Boyle McCauley News, and individual community members!

McCauley Apartments, along with Capital Region Housing’s SUCCEED Program and Education Department, have joined with e4c McCauley Apartments tenants and staff to develop more collaboration and partnership to design and complete the McCauley Apartments Community Mural Project. After a long year of waiting, it appears the mural, to which so many community members have contributed, is pushing forward with a mural design and planning workshop December 6th.
