Mural for Downtown Camrose
By Lori Larsen
City of Camrose Council approved the proposed addition of a 100’ long mural with varying heights extending 13 to 26 feet at 4904-50 Street in Downtown Camrose.
The mural, proposed by Colleen McLeod, will be placed on the south wall of the building adjacent to 49th Avenue.
The subject of the mural will depict the original building (of that location) in 1950, including nightscape oil painting, with cars of that era and people dressed in that era, strolling the street.
According to City of Camrose Planning and Development manager Aaron Leckie, the installation of the mural is consistent with the requirements of the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan and, with Council’s approval, will form part of the conditions of approval for the Development Permit.
“It is quite exciting,” said Leckie, in reference to another mural adding to the uniqueness and beautification of Downtown Camrose. “We have quite a collection of these projects coming up.”
Hot meats and savoury side dishes, fresh salads, breads and cold cuts. Norsemen Inn Buffet Schedule:

During the June 21 City of Camrose regular council meeting, council heard three readings and approved an amendment to Bylaw 3179-21 (Mask Bylaw in City of Camrose) to have the bylaw remain in full force and effect until such time as the Province of Alberta officially ends the provincial health order requirements for mandatory masks in all public places, or amends the provincial health order to require masks in only certain public places and institutions.
At this point, the province has clarified that masks will still be worn on public transportation which, for Camrose, would include taxis and the Community Bus.
