We are all here

Erindale Park, Mississauga, Ontario 2020

Twelve 2-sided vinyl flags installed in trees throughout Erindale Park in October 2020, a temporary public art commission for Mississauga Culture Division in partnership with Mississauga Parks, Forestry, and Environment Division. The works were on display for one year.

The flags are based on watercolours of species that are found in Credit River Watershed, currently and historically, including four at-risk species, species whose numbers are declining to the point of concern about their potential disappearance from the region. The species selected rely on the river, for fresh water, for food sources found in the river, and directly or indirectly as a habitat, as the river is vital to the ecosystem of the Credit River Watershed. The project speaks to the importance of the ongoing conservation efforts, habitat restoration, and park growth.
