We work with communities across Canada to create vibrant public places that help solve the most pressing issues cities face. Each project is a showcase of what’s possible. See our work below.
Evergreen is a national non-profit transforming public spaces in our cities to build a healthier future for people and our planet.
We know that our public spaces need a change and transforming them takes a community of action. We want you to be part of that community.

Evergreen has launched a major new commission in our public art program — a reproduction of Rita Letendre’s iconic mural Sunrise from 1971. The reproduction has been painted by artist Tannis Nielsen, and will be accompanied by a mural of Nielsen’s own, developed in response to Letendre’s work and her influence on Canadian art history, public art and Indigenous muralism.
