An Olympic-sized mural was unveiled Friday morning at the St. Vital Curling Club.
The mural, which covers the entire west side of the building, honours Winnipegger Kaitlyn Lawes, who earned an Olympic gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics with partner John Morris in mixed doubles curling.
The mural faces St. Anne’s Road.
