This mural, located in the Youth Lounge of BGC East   Scarborough, was created by a youth artist team that was mentored and hired   to develop the design and artwork. The mural wraps around the space, depicting four intertwined themes: Resilience, Opportunity, Strength, and   Determination.
Resilience was inspired by the ancient Chinese expression, "The fish that swims upstream becomes the dragon," chosen for its positive message and visual appeal. Opportunity was   represented by "Windows of Opportunity," symbolizing life passages and transformations. Birds flying through windows depicted transformation, reflecting personal growth without defining what that transformation should be.
Strength was embodied by the Thunderbird, symbolizing power and connection to the natural world. Positioned as a focal point, it aims to empower youth as they leave the lounge. Determination was conveyed   through "The key to the future is in your hands," with the Thunderbird's wings resembling keys and visual key elements above the door,   reminding youth they hold the key to their future.
