First place: Eric McBain

"I went back to the roots of our area, the borders that define our neighbourhood, and the source of an exciting future - the rail lines. More specifically I was inspired a lot by vintage signage of Grand Trunk Railways for the type, a major rail company that used to operate the hood (fun history fact, Hebert James Symington, the namesake of the avenue worked for Grand Trunk, (http://db1.archives.queensu.ca/ica-atom/index.php/herbert-james-symington-fonds;rad). The rail line in perspective moving forward and upward I think also alludes nicely to the future impact rail will have on our hood when the UP trains start."
