SILVER SPRINGS

Mike Hooves mural for 2022 BUMP was made through CBC's Battle of the Burbs Contest, where Calgarians voted for the best suburb in the city with the winning prize being a BUMP mural. Mike Hooves was selected as the muralist to give this community a mural that celebrates their history, neighbourhood and stories.

"I emphasized the natural aspects of silver springs - the foliage, flowers from the many gardens, as well as some of the animals who live in the neighbourhood (I’ve heard many folks mention bobcat sightings, and I’ve seen many magpies)."
