Part of the “We gon’ be alright” street mural at Bank and Lisgar blew down March 12.

The Downtown Bank BIA, which had commissioned the mural, said the base of the hoarding was rotten in several areas and the high winds blew a portion of it down onto Bank Street. The cut-up pieces can be seen behind the fence.

The BIA tweeted that it plans to replace the mural as soon as possible, and is working with the property owner to get a quote for the new hoarding, to be installed in late spring. The work has been delayed by the lockdown, but the BIA said they will reinstall it as soon as they can.
