As non-essential businesses across Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»remain boarded up during the COVID-19 pandemic, local artists have responded by turning plywood into canvases.
They've used their skills to transform what was initially an eerily depressing sight into bright, cheerful messages of hope and gratitude.
While these intricate murals are popping up all over the city, if you're properly following physical distancing guidelines that likely means you've only been able to check out the creations in your own neighbourhood. Here's a few of the many inspiring murals we found on social media over the past few days, because let's face it - we're all in need of a little positivity these days.
Have a look, and feel free to share your favourite murals with us by using the hashtag #vancouverisawesome.
