The city of North Vancouver is handling buckets of hope all other the city.
What’s in them? Sidewalk chalk, temporary tattoos…
So today with the help of Therese Joseph, Sophie Babeanu and Charlotte Pelissier, we painted patterned hearts in front of cityscape so everyone can color in with the chalks.
If you walk up or down Lonsdale, feel free to pick up some chalks and color !
