Vital Contributions

by Ryan Pearson & Carl T. Haskell, 2001
This mural is dedicated to the 16 000 Ford Motor Company of Canada employees who engineered, built, inspected, and tested military transport for the British Empire in WWII. Military land vehicles, including the Windsor Carrier, were pushed to their limits in the tangle of brush, muck and sand of what is now Ojibway Park. Test drivers like Wilfred Renaud (far right), who had a brother and sister in the armed forces, had a profound sense of responsibility and knew how vital their contributions were to the war effort.

This mural was painted over in the spring of 2007
