Alayna Ward, with the YWCA NWT says the mural will occupy a central location. “A lot of the staff are located there and that's where a lot of the programs take place as well. We have a lot of traffic that comes in and out of that location, as well as a lot of families that live in that location. So the place of the mural would be right at the entryway,” said Ward. “It's going to create a really great inclusive welcoming space in the entryway,” added Ward.
