  • Butterfly Community Art Project

    RDN Recreation and Parks and The Old Schoolhouse (TOSH) invites you to create and submit your butterfly art. 

    The butterfly, is a symbol of transformation, from the cocoon the butterfly emerges in colourful splendor. Just like a butterfly, we too shall emerge from this unsettling time transformed. Butterflies can be of any size or style – be creative. Click here for templates, fun butterfly facts and notes on colour.

    This is an online exhibition and your photos will be shared in the gallery and on social media. We hope that when facilities reopen we can migrate
