Chemainus Festival of Murals Unveiling
June 7 @ 11:00 am
A new installation at the entrance to Waterwheel Park in Chemainus, named Shq’apthut (Gathering Place), will remind people of thousands of years of Coast Salish heritage in the region and ongoing efforts toward reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and other cultures living on the unceded territory of the Penelakut Tribe, Stz’uminus, Halalt, and Lyackson First Nations.
The official unveiling of the sculptural Coast Salish designs by Penelakut artist Maynard Johnny Jr. will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 7 at the Waterwheel Crescent entrance to the park.
