2. BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MEETING
Chris Newman, Chair, welcomed new attendees and thanked them for coming
and provided an overview of what the committee's purpose is.
a) Graffiti Initiative
Chirs Newman, Chair advised the Committee of the location for the mural wall,
near Tooley Park. The idea behind the initiative is to have youth create and
design artwork for the mural wall. There would be a judging panel, including a
representative from the Region of Durham. Promotion of the contest would run
in local schools with the school board and principles approval. There is tentative
approval from the Region of Durham to use their wall, Mayor Foster will provide
additional details to the Region before any details are finalized. The details will
be worked out over the summer, including whose responsibility it will be to
maintain the wall. The goal is to have a sub -committee work throughout July and
August, on the initiative and have a proposal ready for September, 2015.
The Committee discussed potential themes for the mural wall and the potential of
applying for Federal funding for the wall, to celebrate Canada's 150t" anniversary
in 2017.
