About The Project
The Canatara Park Lifeguard Station is a well-loved landmark in one of Sarnia’s most beautiful outdoor spaces. This mural will transform the station into a vibrant, welcoming focal point that celebrates the essence of Canatara Park, including:
- Its natural beauty and rich biodiversity
- The stunning waters of Lake Huron
- The history of Sarnia and its connection to the waterfront
- A bold, bright aesthetic that brings the space to life and enhances the visitor experience
To honour the artist bringing this vision to life, we’re offering a $500 honorarium to the finalist chosen for the Canatara Park Lifeguard Station mural.
