Then & Now Mural (2016)

Pause at the Then & Now mural on Danforth Avenue and let its layered storytelling sink in — this is public art with real depth. Created by artists Jim Bravo and Lula Lumaj, the piece weaves together precolonial history, nature, and urban transformation, honouring the Indigenous heritage of a landscape long since changed. It's a quiet but powerful reminder that the city's streets hold centuries of meaning, and well worth a reflective after-work detour. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
