About

Join the art swap station! Local artist Yen Linh Thai will lead a fun drawing workshop to inspire her upcoming Youth Centre mural project at QEPCCC! Everyone will be encouraged to doodle something they love about their community and these contributions will inspire the youth team's new youth centre mural that will be designed in the Fall of 2023, to be painted in Winter 2024. The artist will also be available to get to know you and draw on-the-spot portraits as personal take-aways!

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.
