The ‘Hey Doreen’ mural located along 54th Avenue is receiving a facelift this summer.
The image shows a resident waving to Doreen while driving a bright red 1949 Chevy truck.
This isn’t the first time it has been redone, as the entire mural was replaced by the artist under warranty after the vinyl bubbled and peeled in 2022.
However, the new vinyl has proven ineffective too, and the manufacturer has refused to honour the warranty, according to art collection chairperson Laurel Halladay.
The beloved 1940s scene will be printed on aluminum substrate panels that attach to a structure on the back of the wall, in accordance with the updated Land Use bylaw.
This allows the mural to be removed and relocated if necessary.
Work is set to start this summer.
