About

Inspired by the stunning 135-foot mural titled “Under the Oak Tree” created by local artist Julia YH (MonkYi), participants will explore the mural’s nature-themed details through a fun scavenger hunt and craft their own buttons using illustrations drawn from Oakville’s flora. Julia’s mural was created with input from over 60 residents and painted over 23 days in Fall 2024. Now, we’re inviting Julia back to share the mural’s stories and symbols through creative play and discovery. This is your chance to meet the artist and discover the details in the mural.

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 maintaining its small-town feel.
