Some love it, some hate it, but Up Here festival organizers say the mural on the old hospital was only supposed to be temporary as they say the building owners told them the structure would be demolished in 2020
When we agreed to transform the old St. Joseph’s Hospital into Canada’s largest mural in 2019, we were under the impression the building would be demolished the following year.
Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves as disheartened as everyone by the lack of progress on the part of the property owners. We yearn for the old hospital to undergo a metamorphosis, to be revitalized and reintegrated into the fabric of our community. To many of us, the hospital holds deep significance as a place of healing — where lives have been started and mourned, where journeys unfolded.
With the mural, Up Here, the artist RISK, and the team aimed to honour the memories within its walls. It’s been a symbol of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of art.
