Tourists and residents comment on Canada's largest mural

We drove and we fell on it. We find it great so we decided to stop to take picturessays Ornella Moiola, a tourist from Toronto.

More than 3,250 liters of multicolored paint were used to cover the 6875 square meters of walls of a former Sudbury hospital.

If it was an ordinary building, we would not have stopped.

His friend Alexandre Dang is of the same opinion. It's out of the ordinary, maybe it can bring tourism to the cityhe adds.

Criticism on social networks

Few passersby criticize the mural live, but on social networks, some netizens say they do not like this new giant painting overlooking Lake Ramsey.

Am I the only one who does not like the mural?, asks Vans on Twitter.

However, a majority of positive comments seem to override social networks.

Some users lamented that the artist could not finish painting the entire building.

The organizers hoped to cover the 7,500 square meters of the building, but the project was delayed in part due to a series of flights.

In all, more than $ 5,000 of equipment was stolen from the shipping container while locked, says Pelletier.
