    TTC MARKS WORLD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY WITH MURAL UNVEILING
    
            TORONTO, Dec. 8 /CNW/ - The TTC's North York Centre Subway
Station will be brightened by a new 40-foot mural, to be unveiled
later today, Friday, December 8, as part of the TTC's Community Art
in Transit Program. The mural was painted by more than a dozen
members of the Earl Haig Secondary School Amnesty International Club,
to celebrate World Human Rights Day this Sunday, December 10.
            World Human Rights Day was declared by the United Nations to
mark the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. Using this as their inspiration, the Earl Haig students
have included text from the Declaration and various multi-cultural
figures in the foreground of their mural, on a background of blue and
white hand prints.
            TTC Commissioner and Vice-Chair Howard Moscoe, along with
Susannah Kocsis from Amnesty International and many of the student
artists, will unveil the new mural at North York Centre Station at
2:00 p.m. today.
            The TTC's Community Art in Transit Program encourages students,
artists, and community groups to submit art for display in the TTC.
Other murals from this program are enjoyed by customers at Dundas,
St. Clair and Summerhill Stations.
