Ellen Bleiwas, Leah Burns, Katy Mulla, Summer 2004 2446 Kingston Road, Scarborough, ON. Just west of Midland Avenue. Designed by artists Leah Burns, Katy Mulla and Ellen Bleiwas, the mural was inspired by stories told to the artists by Scarborough Storytellers - Bluffers Tales. Working with themes of metamorphosis, transition and migration, members of Bluffers Tales told a series of stories to the mural artists. These stories were translated into a design that celebrates the experiences of community members who left their homes to come to Canada.
