But not just any squirrel. Toronto has many, many squirrels. Most of them are black and a few are grey or even a reddish colour. The rarest squirrels in the city are the albino squirrels. I’m not sure how many there are but they can most often be seen around Trinity Bellwoods Park.
It is fitting then that this mural is next to the park, in a little lane just north of Queen West that ends at Gore Vale Avenue. It’s a very large albino squirrel; it looks like it fits comfortably into a lovebot heart.
