CK's Municipal Mural Project is off to a colourful start.
Chatham-Kent Police Headquarters at 24 Third Street is the first location to see a mural start to take shape.
Artist Sarah Steele, who helped spearhead July's Can Jam event, began painting Friday. Her mural, already giving nods to Chatham-Kent's police service, agricultural roots, and strong black history.
Mayor Darrin Canniff and Councillor Marjorie Crew have both contributed $5,000 each towards the project from the Council Fund while CK police kicked in an additional $15,425.
Another mural is slated to go up at the Wallaceburg police station.
