(August 11, 2018, 1:01 am)By artist Sara Collard 2008, this Village of Islington mural, titled Portraits From Our Past, is located on the west wall of the building at 4886 Dundas Street West. The accompanying plaque for this mural says:
Inspired by old area photos, Manitoba artist Sarah Collard has created a gallery effect on this 6 m by 10 m wall. The mural is actually four separate works, each depicting a "slice of life" from our village's past. These include: "Apple Packers", Bigham family orchards ca. 1917; "Islington's First Car", a 1917 Chevrolet owned by the Appleby family; "Sunday Afternoon", a scene showing famous Islington photographer, Walter Moorhouse's own family on their veranda at 34 MacPherson Ave (now Aberfoyle); and the "Village Shoemaker", Mr. Nelson, as he appeared early in the 20th century.
