Mississauga Arts Council's Murals with MAC, in support of the Region of Peel Public Works and HATCH, is launching five hoarding mural projects across designated sites in Ward 11. Councillor Brad Butt, together with Heritage Mississauga, the Streetsville BIA, and the Streetsville Historical Society are collaborators on this initiative to provide meaningful artistic opportunities for local artists while celebrating Streetsville's rich history, past and present, through compelling, site-specific artworks. Murals with MAC is seeking dynamic and impactful imagery that captures the unique spirit and character of Ward 11's Streetsville community.

Selected works will form part of a collective visual and literary tribute.
