Located at 541 Sackville Drive, this mural stands as a vibrant testament to unity and peace. Crafted by Lorne Julien, a talented Mi'kmaq artist, the mural titled "8th Generation" carries profound symbolism. It resonates with the prophecy of the "7th Generation," also known as the "Seven Fires," which foretells the responsibility of the current generation to pave the way for the future. Through "8th Generation," Julien emphasizes the imperative for people of all backgrounds and nations to unite in love and harmony, echoing a call for collective action towards a brighter and more inclusive future.
