Toronto Pearson has welcomed a new art piece, The Sunflower Mosaic Project. This large-scale mural was created in collaboration with VIBE Arts, in partnership with Autism Ontario. Led by VIBE Artist Cristina Delago and supported by VIBE Artists Kseniya Tsoy, Serene Chan, Frannie Potts and Tara Dorey and VIBE Artist assistants Michelle Ruiz, Maneesa Veeravel, Natalie "Rare" Chattargoon and Jadyn Hardie-Bardy, youth and seniors from community partners Autism Ontario, Frank Oke Secondary School, George Syme Community School, Mural Routes, Rivercrest Junior Public School and YouthLink took part in mosaic-making programs where colourful sunflower mosaics bloomed.
This project aims to bring more awareness to the Sunflower Lanyard Program at Toronto Pearson, which provides lanyards to passengers with invisible disabilities to help self-identify that they may need extra help or time when travelling.
The mosaic is located at Terminal 1 Domestic Departures, Gate D26!
