[5] Ross went on to create a number of notable murals in the Maritimes, including one in Fredericton and on Prince Edward Island .
He returned to teach at Saint John Vocational School from the 1950s until 1970, becoming the head of its art department.
[2] In 1946, Ross began work on a commissioned mural work that would become The Destruction of War & Rebuilding the World through Education, a memorial mural to 63 students of Fredericton High School who had died in World War II.
With what grew to be nationwide support, three studio assistants, who were guided by Fred Ross and the drawings that he had created more than 60 years earlier, retraced the developmental process of the mural in what would prove to be the most ambitious reanimation of a cultural treasure in Canadian art history.
This unprecedented story of the mural's history — its creation, loss, and eventual restoration and return to public prominence is documented in the text "Redeemed: Restoring the Lost Fred Ross Mural", written and edited by William Forrestall, and published by the University of New Brunswick.
