August 2022 - Toronto ON

Part of my outing a couple of weeks ago was to get a photo of the latest mural at Cameron House.

I had posted the other murals before.

It is also done by John Abrams. The woman's eyes belong to the previous mural.

Around the corner they were painting over another mural.

I had happened to see the new banners hanging on Queen St. on the same day. While doing an other post I discovered that the artist Ham Ont Doodles had done one of this corner. I didn't actually see the banner but did find a copy on their Facebook page.

Previous murals.

August 2022 - Not my photo but I found this on Twitter, @oldTOseries!

This mural, also done by Abrams, covered Cameron House in 1998. It depicts Barbra Streisand and Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, father of our current prime minister.

I also found more images online.

August 2020 - Toronto ON

Near Kensington Market at Alexandra Park on Cameron St. Painted in 2005.

This mural was created to honour the community work of Sonny Atkinson who was a long-time resident of the Alexandra Park community.

Sonny dedicated his time to making this neighbourhood a better, safer place by settling disputes, improving street lighting and breaking down unnecessary walls in the community.

He was also instrumental in making the Alexandra Park housing project into a tenant-run co-op. The Atkinson co-op was named after Sonny Atkinson for his contributions to the community.

Also found on this trek was this one by Sweetman.

On the side of Maker pizza.

As I researched the mural above, on a street I had never walked up, I realized that I had other murals from the corner of Queen and Cameron.

I have photos in 2013 and 2015.
