#Sherbylove
The heart in the mural is 15 feet wide and contains a paramount message for our times… rabu, liebe, alhab, ài, agapé, lûbov, pyara, amor, amour… love! The idea is to make this symbol and its openness to the world what people remember most about Sherbrooke. #sherbylove expresses a bond with Sherbrooke and its inhabitants, and is now seen around the world thanks to the internet.
Dimensions : 39 by 49 feet
Year created: 2016

Mme Boo
Up until recently, in downtown Sherbrooke, people frequently came across someone known for her enthusiasm, smile and zest for life: Madame Boo! Francine Lafond was a simple person who loved spreading joy to the people around her.She would walk up to people in the street and happily cry out “BOO!"—hence her nickname. Madame Boo regularly visited various downtown stores and areas, surprising passersby. It’s easy to see why people loved her so much: Madame Boo loved life and wanted to spread smiles and a bit of friendly mischief to Sherbrookers as they went about their day! Ms. Lafond passed away on February 12th, 2016 in the building where the mural now stands.
