A new temporary art installation along Barrie's waterfront will be unveiled today.
The Rotary Club of Barrie commissioned the mosaic mural Mother Nature in partnership with the city of Barrie to beautify the former Trans Canada Trail Pavilion.
The design was inspired by Kempenfelt Bay and its role as a habitat for wildlife and plants.
