The Days of Sun mosaics were created as part of the larger "Our Own Backyard Mapping Project", co-sponsored by the Britannia Community Programs Office. The mapping project fostered a sense of belonging and developed a sense of ownership of public space. The Days of Sun artist Anne Marie Slater worked with communities of all ages, involving 80 participants from the Multicultural Family Centre, Kettle Friendship Centre, and MOSAIC, to create a series of paintings and three large sidewalk panels. Featuring inlaid metal and tile mosaics, the sidewalk panels provide street-level "welcome mats" for the diverse community that visits the centre, as well as pedestrians travelling along Commercial Drive.Medium/discipline of Project
