The Ritchie Community League mural was inspired by the creatures that can be found in the nearby river valley, and a geometric/topographical street view of the local neighborhood. 

Over 20 youth from Strathcona County worked with lead artists Shelby Willis and Peter Gegolick to conceive of, design, and paint the dynamic imagery and bands of colour at the skate park. Themes drawn from the Ardrossan area were key to the youth which one can see in the artwork. 

Joyful Wildlife Colouring Sheets created by Shelby Willis and inspired by Michele Keehn a Spiritual (Soul) Energy Healer for Mosaic Mind-Body-Spirit Magazine.
