The History of The Land
Philip Cote

Description
Landmark mural by renowned Indigenous artist, Philip Cote. The mural, “The History of The Land,” was commissioned by the BIA and the City of Toronto, and continues the BIA’s tradition of honouring the original peoples of the neighbourhood. In 2016, the BIA initiated a Custom Street Signs project introducing Indigenous street names and causing a stir in the GTA that inspired other cities such as Hamilton to follow suit.
