Part of a Love Letter to the Great Lakes, nine artists painted the pillars below the DVP / Gardiner Ramps at the mouth of the Don River and at the Rail Bridge at Don Landing. The river-side murals are inspired by the resilience of the Don River and explore the ecological challenges and opportunities faced in renewing our relationship to this urban watershed.
