In 2010, Mural Routes commissioned Toronto artist Allan Bender to restore Scarborough Rifle Company, one of its Heritage Trail murals on Kingston Road, Toronto.

After consultation with original artist John Hood who created it in 1990, Bender restored and enlivened the sun faded and weather ravaged mural. The restoration was applauded by both the Scarborough community and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13, home to the mural at 1577 Kingston Road, in Scarborough Ontario.

Before and after images below show the mural's transformation back to its original vivid colour and tone.
