A new mural in Montreal’s District Central brings together wildlife, street art, and a father-daughter story to highlight the importance of protecting animals and nature for future generations.

Created by Montreal muralist Fluke in partnership with World Animal Protection Canada, the large-scale artwork features the artist’s six-year-old daughter surrounded by a bumblebee, coyote, falcon, and a humpback whale and her calf.

The mural explores the relationship between people, animals, and nature, with each species representing themes ranging from biodiversity to urban coexistence. Fluke’s daughter inspired the project, and he painted alongside her to show how each generation can pass on compassion and environmental responsibility.

The artwork also aims to encourage residents to reconnect with nature and consider their role in protecting wildlife.

Located on Parc Avenue in the Chabanel sector, the mural adds a splash of creativity to District Central’s industrial landscape. Its placement reflects ongoing efforts to introduce more green space and biodiversity to the neighbourhood.

“This project has given me an opportunity to reconnect with the values I care deeply about and to see the natural world through my daughter’s eyes, with that same sense of wonder and curiosity,” said Fluke.

World Animal Protection Canada developed this initiative in collaboration with Fluke and produced by The Dream Catcher Production. Non-profit organization SDC District Central provided financial support through Quebec’s Fonds Signature Métropole.
