Anishinaabe-Algonquin artist Philip Cote completed Walls of Welcome in late 2021.
Depicting the Ojibway Creation Story, the mural showcases how the world and humankind began.

Colorful mural featuring Native American motifs, including a bison, eagles, and traditional patterns, near a large stained glass window in a room with wooden flooring.

Philip purposefully chose to paint this mural to surround the creation stories of Christianity.

Colorful mural inside a room featuring indigenous-inspired art with birds, bison, and human figures, adjacent to stained glass windows depicting various scenes.

With so much more to be done, this is simply one small step on our journey of Truth and Reconciliation.
