Town of Stony Plain Welcomes New Addition to its Public Art Collection

STONY PLAIN, AB: On September 28, 2026, The Town of Stony Plain unveiled a new mural titled Our Hands, Our Home. The mural can be found on the west side of the Stony Plain Youth Centre (4902 51 Ave) and pays homage to the previous Project of the Heart mural. 

The Project of the Heart was originally commissioned in 2013 and offered youth the opportunity to seek a better understanding and relationship with Indigenous peoples. However, in 2025 due to unrepairable damage, the piece was decommissioned.

Incorporating Indigenous consultation and youth engagement, Our Hands, Our Home was designed and created by Jada Hatfield a regional, Métis youth artist. Jada has completed various projects throughout Alberta that uplift Indigenous voices, culture, and experiences. Her previous work includes being selected as a featured artist for the 2025 Youth Teepee Summit, creating the Health Sciences Association of Alberta (HSAA) Orange Shirt design, completing a commission for the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, and designing a mural for Sport Central. 

The Stony Plain Youth Centre mural features a landscape of Stony Plain with an overarching Indigenous perspective balancing the seven sacred footprints, a central medicine wheel, youth handprints, with landmark buildings and agricultural features in the community. Our Hands, Our Home is Stony Plain’s 42nd mural and was commissioned through the Town of Stony Plain’s Art in Public Places Program. 

“Creating a mural at the Stony Plain Youth Centre has allowed me to bring together everything I value,” says artist, Jada Hatfield. “Cultural storytelling, youth empowerment, and art that breathes life into shared spaces helping bring connection into a space where young people can gather, learn, and grow.” 

“When we bring together diverse perspectives, cultures, and voices, we strengthen our shared understanding and build a more connected community” says Mayor William Choy. “Our Hands, Our Home will proudly represent diverse voices and cultures in Stony Plain, while serving as an enduring reminder of our commitment to reconciliation and lifelong learning.”
