About
The community was invited to create a design on a wooden maple leaf that would be part of FamiLEAF's collaborative installation. The shape of the maple leaf is special in that it can make a tessellation—a pattern of a repeated shape that fits perfectly together like a puzzle. The name FamiLEAF was born from the idea that everyone in a community is part of one big family and that we are all connected. The maple leaf shape is also a nod to Fall when Culture Days takes place, and a symbol of Canada.
Join us for the exhibition opening on September 24! FamiLEAF will be on display until October 24.

City of Port Moody
Port Moody – City of the Arts – is home to over 34,000 residents. The vibrant waterfront city values its natural environment and heritage character, embraces sustainability and is committed to community engagement. Founded in 1913, Port Moody’s historical ties to railway and lumber industries have given way to arts and service-based businesses. With over one-third of its land mass dedicated as parkland, Port Moody is a desirable place to live in B.C.’s Lower Mainland.
