UFCW 1006A has commissioned a public mural, titled ‘Land of the Original People,’ for our union office.

“This mural is a powerful testament to our union’s commitment to stand in solidarity with Indigenous, Metis, Inuit people across Turtle Island and work towards truth and reconciliation,” said President Wayne Hanley. “This powerful and inspiring artwork honours Indigenous history, culture and traditions – our union is proud to showcase and share this incredible work of art with our members and the larger public.”

The mural was unveiled on June 10, 2026 and honours our Indigenous communities and the land on which our building stands. The artwork, which is 85 feet long by 5 feet tall, is displayed on the local union’s building in Woodbridge.

The mural was created by Indigenous artist, Philip Cote, from the Moose Deer Point First Nation. He is a Spiritual Elder, Indigenous Artist, Activist, Educator, Historian and Ancestral Knowledge Keeper.
