150+ Reasons

This artwork was created by emerging artist Talie Shalmon, as a social enterprise project by VIBE Arts to acknowledge Canada's 150th anniversary. The artist was inspired by reasons submitted by KPMG people as to why they love Canada.

“150+ Reasons represents the diversity of Canada and the things that make it great. 150+ Reasons represents the rich mosaic that is Canada. The swirling colours are symbolic of Canada's landscape: red for the maple leaves, yellow for the sun and crops, green for the forests, and blue for the lakes and oceans.”
