Image is of the transit terminal shelter with artwork from 2025 Interchange artist Zeta Paul, titled “Msɨt No’kmaq (All My Relations): Everything is Smiling”. There is a colourful illustration with an Indigenous man riding a pale pink unicorn in the foreground, wearing a war bonnet, full regalia, and a bow and arrows on his back. He is riding towards the viewer over a hill of green grass covered with mushrooms, teddy bears, lupins, and pink crystals. The unicorn wears a bejewelled harness and around its neck is a medallion with a Mi’kmaw double curve pattern. Over their heads are telephone wires draped across the landscape. The background extends far into the distance where there is a moose at the shoreline of a body of water surrounded by mountains embedded with the faces of Mi’kmaw women wearing peaked caps. On the horizon is a massive full moon rising, and a sun rising above it. Beyond the moon and sun is a high rise apartment building with clotheslines on the fire escapes, there are shooting stars in the sky and in the top left there is three floating red pixellated video game hearts.
