The Hounsfield Heights–Briar Hill Community Association has partnered with second-year Nursing students from the University of Calgary to unveil a striking new mural on the side of the community’s seacan.
Designed by the nursing students, the mural is a vibrant reflection of the community’s past, present, and future. On the right side, city buildings symbolize the community’s proximity to downtown Calgary and its growth as part of a prospering urban landscape. At the centre, diverse figures represent the inclusive nature of the community—welcoming people from all walks of life, especially with the accessibility provided by the nearby LRT. Anchoring it all is the powerful message: “Hope Grows Here”—a reminder of the optimism and possibility that defines Hounsfield Heights–Briar Hill.
Beyond the mural, the nursing students are also engaging with the community to promote health and safety awareness. Through surveys and conversations with residents, they are sharing practical tips on personal safety, proper hand hygiene, flu and cold prevention, and vaccine reminders—especially important as the seasons change.
This initiative highlights the shared values of connection, care, and continued growth that make Hounsfield Heights–Briar Hill a special place to call home.
