This Indigenous public art --- five 12-metre panels of glass beads along Hamilton's waterfront --- is stunning. By Cree-Métis fashion designer Angela DeMontigny. My thoughts immediately went to Christie Belcourt's paintings.

Need help identify where this building was. @torontoarchives.bsky.social says it's the Muirhead blg at 217 King East (1929-30), which is incorrect. Any suggestions? @torontohistoric.bsky.social @jbcurio.bsky.social #torontoheritage
