Commissioned by Immigrant Services Society of British Columbia the Loponen watercolour painting Where Dreams Begin symbolizes care, hopes and dreams for the new Canadians of immigrants and refugees. The colours were chosen as warm welcoming colours of sunset, of coming home.

The Loponen gifted this watercolour painting to Immigrant Services Society of British Columbia Welcome Centre and was invited to be presented to the Royal couple, the Prime Minister, his wife Sophie and say a few words about the painting on their Royal visit to ISSofBC, fall of 2016.
