In honour of the city’s 50th anniversary, a series of banners were co-commissioned with the 5 Business Improvement Areas (BIA’s): Streetsville, Clarkson, Port Credit, Cooksville, and Malton.
Mississauga based artist, Alyah Holmes is an award-winning illustrator and designer. She worked with each BIA to create a banner that represented both a vibrant city and the local communities within it.
“The City in Colour is a celebratory series of vibrant and cheerful banners bringing the diversity, nature, people, experience and feeling of Mississauga to life. In honour of the city’s 50th anniversary, I wanted to capture the personality and culture of each neighbourhood: what makes them unique and exciting. Through the vibrant colour palette, relatable characters, and familiar landmarks and characteristics, I hope Mississauga and all its people feel represented, celebrated and proud seeing my artwork.” – Alyah Holmes
The Streetsville banner features Franklin House, Streetsville Memorial Park, Streetsville Village Clock, and a ferris wheel (referencing the Bread & Honey Festival). You can see this banner on Queen St S within Streetsville and in the city’s Downtown Core.
Thank you to Classic Displays for installing these banners throughout the Village.
