Edmonton traffic control box murals

February 14, 2024

Our Developing Professionals Group and Employee Resource Groups partnered with the city to create artwork across downtown Edmonton, Alberta

Stantec and the Edmonton Downtown Business Association have partnered to beautify the city core by creating original artwork for several traffic control boxes.

The traffic control boxes show five hand-painted perspectives of iconic Edmonton cityscapes and scenery, reflecting the different viewpoints that our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) encourage. Stantec Tower is present in each as a central part of the city, with pops of movement and color in the backgrounds to bring the skyline to life. The following five ERGs are represented, from left to right:
