LETHBRIDGE, AB – A new art piece created by local students is on display at Park Place Mall.

On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, the mall unveiled its newest art installation, Courage to Soar, created by the students of Father Leonard Van Tighem School.

Representatives from the Holy Spirit Catholic School Division says the piece represents the school’s unique virtues: honest, accepting, wise, kind, and spiritual, while integrating the colours of the Medicine Wheel.

Emily Boutland, a Grade 4 Teacher and one of the Courage to Soar project leads says, “This collaborative art project embodies the spirit of unity and diversity at Father Leonard Van Tighem School. Every student, from the youngest in Pre-K to the oldest in Grade 9, contributed to the project, illustrating how each individual’s input is valued within the larger community.”

The interactive element of the project, which invites viewers to stand tall and embody the courage of a hawk, encourages participation and reflection on what it means to be part of an inclusive and nurturing environment.

Courage To Soar will remain at the mall until December 2025.
