Where can you find the largest mural in all of Canada?
As of last week, that would be Sudbury, Ontario.
A well-known street artist called RISK was commissioned to do the work. He turned the facade of the former St. Joseph’s Health Centre, (formerly the Sudbury General Hospital) into a stunning, vibrant riot of colours.
It took twelve days, 700 gallons of paint and hundreds spray paint cans to create the 80,000 square foot building mural.
