About
Brenda Reid is an emerging multi-disciplinary artist and designer living in Kitchener, Ontario with a background in architecture. In her quilting research, she uncovered several traditional quilt blocks with architectural references. She says about her quilt exhibition, "I was really interested in seeing how architecture was being translated by quilters. I was particularly struck by “courthouse steps.” It’s a very simple pattern and yet invokes this colonial architecture that exudes power. This project reflects on this reflection of architecture
- the symbol of the courthouse - and depicts four topics of injustice with it."

Town of Oakville
The Town of Oakville is located on Treaty 14 and 22 lands, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Since the 1800s, it has become one of the most coveted areas to live and work in Ontario with 225,000 residents calling Oakville home. The town offers all the advantages of a well-serviced urban centre with first-rate facilities and amenities, while also maintaining its small-town feel.
