We are incredibly proud to unveil the Canada Connects Fun & Family mural here in Drayton Valley; a vibrant piece that we are proud to display on the wall of the Omniplex, showcasing the creativity and spirit of artists from across the country and around the world.
The Town of Drayton Valley was proud to support this initiative alongside the Drayton Valley Hospitality and Tourism Authority, and we are thrilled to see it come to life in such a meaningful and lasting way
We’d like to thank everyone who made this possible:
• Drayton Valley Fine Art Society, for their vision and leadership throughout this initiative.
• Candace Mulligan, for championing this project from the start.
• Lewis Lavoie, the Canadian artist and creative mind behind Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots project. His unique artistic process has brought together hundreds of tiles from across the country into one cohesive and meaningful work of art.
• Mural Mosaic's Global Roots Project team, for including Drayton Valley in this national initiative.
• Drayton Valley Hospitality & Tourism Authority, for their partnership and support.
• And of course, all the talented artists — local and beyond — who painted and submitted their tiles to form this mural.

Members of Town Council and Administration gathered at the Civic Centre to lower the flags and observe a moment of silence for this year's National Day of Mourning in recognition of those who were injured or lost their lives in workplace accidents.
Across Canada, the National Day of Mourning is officially observed every year on April 28. The National Day of Mourning offers us an opportunity to recognize the 203 workers in Alberta who lost their lives through work related illness or injury in 2024. This is also an opportunity to reflect and re-commit to the culture of health and safety in the workplace.
