This mural is located on the east side of the Trenton Community Policing building.
Completed in 2013 by local artist Charles R Street, the large mural depicts the history of Trenton, from its early days as the "Film Capital of Canada" and "Hollywood North", to its preeminence as the home of Canada's largest RCAF air transport base, and its role in the new municipality of Quinte West.
The backgrounds are made entirely of donated photographs of Trenton residents and events.
Major background scenes include a giant film reel, the Airfield water tower and light, and various railroad scenes.
