#iloveottewell
A Community Mural Project

Let’s paint Ottewell together

Something colourful is coming to the neighbourhood… and we want your vote!

Welcome to the #iloveottewell Community Vote — your chance to help choose the mural that will transform our community space into a vibrant, inspiring landmark. This is more than just art. It’s a celebration of green living, local pride, and working together to make something beautiful, right here in Ottewell.

About the project

This project is a large-scale mural initiative designed to highlight what makes our neighbourhood—and our city—so special: ecological beauty, sustainability, and community spirit.

The mural will be painted collaboratively with residents of all ages and skill levels, and unveiled during a special League Party celebration. Whether you vote, paint, or just cheer us on, this is your project.

Meet the mural concepts

  • Concept one: A City Sprouts

    Honouring Urban Forests & Tree Planting
    This design grows from the ground up — showing young saplings transforming into a thriving tree canopy. A tribute to Edmonton’s bold goal of planting 1.5 million trees, it reflects growth, legacy, and the green future we’re building together.

  • Concept two: Into the Wilds

    Celebrating Natural Areas & Biodiversity
    A lush tapestry of native Edmonton wildlife — fluttering butterflies, curious hares, and soaring birds — interwoven with flowing elements from our natural spaces. This concept captures the wild heart of our city and reminds us of the beauty just beyond our doorsteps.

  • Concept three: Cultivating Community

    A Colourful Community Garden Scene
    Bursting with vibrant garden boxes, veggies, flowers, and friendly spaces, this joyful scene celebrates urban agriculture and the people who make Ottewell feel like home. Togetherness, nourishment, and pride in every brushstroke.
