I'm linking up at Monday Mural
August 2022 - Toronto ON
“We Are Nurses — We Answer the Call,” a public awareness campaign reminding Canadians of the enormous contribution—and sacrifices—made by the country’s nurses during the pandemic.
Designed by the artist collective
Oneday Creates—which describes itself as “a creative team finding unique ways to deliver impactful messages and connect with the public across a variety of mediums”—the 28-storey mural depicts four nurses looking out over the city. It also features a QR code that launches an augmented reality component that brings the nurses to life via voiceovers and links to stories from the front lines of Canadian healthcare. Scanning the code also takes viewers to a dedicated landing page at WeAreNurses.ca.
MURAL UPDATE
August 2022
At Queen St. West and Ossington - I took this photo in 2017 and posted it here. I went by August 2022 and the mural and building are gone. I do remember seeing it in either 2020 or 2021.
August 2022 - Queen St. West and Lisgar - Also on the same trip this was painted over.
I had posted it here in 2019.

You captured some mural history which will hopefully be here forever more.
ReplyDelete...“We Are Nurses — We Answer the Call,” sure is timely. I love the "Easter egg!"
ReplyDeleteBefore I read that the mural and the building were gone, I was thinking how many of those nurses gave their lives to help their patients during the height of the pandemic. Now I wonder why the building was destroyed.
ReplyDeleteObviously, I like the "egg" or "rock" better painted.
Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteWow, wonderful mural and the nurses and other medical staff do deserve our utmost respect for the wonderful jobs they do! What a pity the other two murals have disappeared. I understand the one is because the building was demolished, but that "rock" is still there and looked so much better with the painted mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Jackie.
