‘I’m going to remember this for a long time,’ says 14-year-old artist Saaki Nuna

A group of young artists from Cape Dorset have left their mark on the walls of Montreal, with a massive colourful mural that speaks about the impact of climate change on Inuit.

The mural on Rue Ontario East is the Embassy of Imagination’s second project in the south.

“I’m going to remember this for a long time, because I’m enjoying it here,” said 14-year-old artist Saaki Nuna in Inuktitut.
