Construction Site Hoarding

Community Art Contest

Many residents have seen the large worksite at 148 Street and Summit Drive. EPCOR would like to try to improve the look of that site by putting community art on the construction fence hoarding. We would like that art to come from you! The location selected to display the construction art hoarding will be Worksite #1 - 148 Street and Summit Drive.
