A group of local high school students have painted two public displays ahead of this year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The displays, painted onto the walkway of the Heritage River Trail, feature black and white feathers against an orange backdrop.
Christine Sloan, an art and French teacher at South Grenville District High School (SGDHS), says her students created the piece.
Sloan and her art students worked on another mural in town inspired by local Indigenous culture, depicting spread wings with a unique design on each feather, earlier this year.
Plans for this display date back to last fall, when town council agreed to the displays after similar painted walkways in Gananoque and Timmins were created.
If you want to see them for yourself, they’re at the east and west ends of the trail.
