The mural is the work of 17 artists and is meant to raise awareness of injustices suffered by Black and Indigenous people and others. It has been in place for about two weeks.

City spokesman Sheldon Johnson said the acronym has remained in place but municipal officials want to meet next week with the artists and the mural sponsor, the African Heritage Association of Vancouver Island.
