Memorial West Park behind the Dunbar Community CentreDescription
To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the Dunbar Community Centre brought together area residents to create an anniversary garden and employed the talents of artist Pat Beaton to work with neighbours to create a series of carved garden posts to act as creative fencing for the garden. Community members created the designs for the posts meant to play off hte concept of garden structures as well as referring to human interventions in nature. As well as the garden and the carved cedar posts, this project's legacy includes the revitatlization of the community centre's woodworking shop which was refurbished for the project and is back in operation again with the centre providing woodworking courses once again.
