About

See Kimberly Chins' traffic signal box wrap "Lucky Koi" on display outside of Iroquois Ridge Community Centre.

Kimberly offers the following description of her work:

"Designed on a graphic background evoking water and waves, koi fish are known to swim against the current and overcome great obstacles, they embody, courage, patience, and success achieved through perseverance. They are symbols of prosperity and good fortune because of their potential for impressive size and longevity. In Chinese culture, they represent family, harmony and wealth - a feng shui favourite, symbolising abundance as well as determination and strength. The koi represents the strength and resilience of our community."

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.
