Hotel Fortin

On our way back from ice fishing we stopped at Legal. They call themselves the French Mural Capital of Canada.
Here is one of many in town

@bkbinthecity When we were in Three Hills and Wetaskin our last time there both communities had murals. It must be an "Alberta thing" these days. Great ideas!!

[bkb in the city]

@aglennc Anita l have seen the ones in Wetaskiwin but not Three Hills. Stony Plain just west of Edmonton has several as well
