Deadline extended for Art Alley project

Bernier expected work on the project will begin later this month and continue into September or October.

“We are open to any and all individuals who are interested in taking part in the project. The city of North Battleford and the North Battleford Business Improvement District (BID) is very committed to the safety and the revitalization of the downtown,” Bernier said. “We had such great feedback and results last year that we are excited as we move forward into the second year.”

Battlefords Detachment RCMP Const. Jane Kenny said the Art Alley murals help people feel a greater sense of pride in their community. She thought potential offenders are less likely to cause property damage if they see the time and effort taken to beautify the city.

“We’re hoping to continue to do something every year to make the city look nicer,” Kenny said.

Devin MacAulay, a planner with City of North Battleford who is involved in the project, hopes this year more people will take part.

“We know there are a lot of creative people in the city and we want to try to coax these people out, and get involved in the community and showcase what they can do,” he said.
