École Charleswood School is home to a new large mural.
With guidance from mural artist Fred Thomas, Grade 7 and 8 students helped design and paint the new artwork, The Passage.
The art piece was inspired by things the students learned after trips to Tom Chester Park, Assiniboine Forest, Oak Hammock Marsh and Brokenhead Wetland.
The seven sacred teachings can be found within the painting as well as the four traditional medicines, with every inch of the mural created with intention and detail.
The mural, which is called The Passage because it was the former name of the Charleswood area, is displayed in one of the hallways of the school.
The hope is that the art piece leaves a lasting image and powerful message of beauty and resilience in nature and the community.
