Paths to Chemainus
The Little Town THAT DID R
ich history, culture and unique shopping and dining experiences come together in Chemainus — a vibrant town just minutes off the Trans Canada Highway on Vancouver Island. Chemainus is a town where rich history and culture easily flirt with modern conveniences and lifestyles. Winding along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by breathtaking farmlands and rising mountains, this is a town with something to offer everyone. The community of about 4,100 is located about 30 minutes south of Nanaimo and about an hour north of Victoria. The town is perhaps best known for its beautiful murals, which are painted on buildings and which showcase the town's rich history. More than 50,000 visitors come to take in the sights each year. Chemainus is the perfect place to relax with the family, escape on a romantic weekend or get away from the everyday. The town offers plenty of shopping opportunities at locallyowned businesses. Stop by a cozy restaurant or drop into a bakery for a quick coffee break — or take your coffee to the beach or Waterwheel Park. Enjoy spa services or a round of golf. Take in a world-class show at the Chemainus Theatre Festival or explore the Chemainus Valley Museum and absorb the community’s history.
Just getting here is half the fun By Ferry Visitors can come to Vancouver Island by ferry and drive or take one of the public transit options to Chemainus. There is daily ferry service between Tsawwassen and Victoria and between Vancouver and Nanaimo. There are bus and taxi options to travel to and from ferry terminals. Visitors to and from Thetis Island can take a ferry right to Old Town Chemainus as well. Visit www.bcferries.com for more information and for ferry schedules.
By Car The Trans Canada Highway goes from one end of Vancouver Island to the other. The entrance to Chemainus is prominently set along the highway so visitors from the northern and southern portions of the Island can just take a picturesque drive, take in the views and make their way to Chemainus year-round.

By Airplane The Nanaimo Airport is located in Cassidy, just 15 minutes away, and Air Canada flies to the airport from Vancouver. See www.nanaimoairport.com for more. You can also fly into Victoria and travel to Chemainus by bus or car.
By Boat Those seeking a nautical adventure can stop over in Chemainus at the community marina. Call Harmon at 250-246-4655 to book a reservation at the marina. Boat moorage is also available at two marinas at Thetis Island.

Historical roots
Museum has a dream to expand D
reaming towards the future often means looking back into the past. In the early part of 1963, a small group of friends gathered around a kitchen table and talked of how they could preserve the history of Chemainus. This group was the start of the Chemainus Valley Historical Society. By Aug. 7, 1963, they were officially incorporated and under the Society Act were responsible for Chemainus and Surrounding District. By the end of that year, there were 23 active members preserving the history of the area. From 1963 until the early 1980s, all the letters, papers, photos and artifacts were stored in many members’ basements. As the first and oldest members started to die, items were being lost with estates changing hands. The remaining members started to look at developing one site in which to store all the information gathered in the basements. A house was donated but not the land, so behind the scenes, many discussions were being carried out, trying to find the best site for this house. Before a site could be found, tragedy struck in the form of fire. The house was lost, and the group was back to looking for both a site and a building. Within the group, it was decided that they would approach one of their own members, MacMillan Lumber Company, and ask that a portion of Waterwheel Park be allowed to have a museum building erected. After everyone was satisfied the museum could be built on the old site of the manager’s house, serious planning started to take shape. By 1990, funds had been raised to build the new museum, and in 1991, with much fanfare, the ground was cut. The new Chemainus Valley Museum opened in the summer of 1991, leaving many basements clean again. Over the next two decades, there was continuous growth within the museum, until now the shelves are overflowing to the point of bursting.
At the beginning of the new millennium, discussions were taking place that the society needed a bigger museum. With research and debates, a new plan emerged, and an expansion proposal was discussed. After a couple of years of hard work, changes in ideas and finding resources, the Chemainus Valley Historical Society now stands in the position to move forward and is aiming at many fundraisers, grant requests and all donations welcomed. The hopes and dreams are to have twice as much space with little impact on the parkland. The society hopes the people of Chemainus will support its museum in any way they can.
The Queen's Garden Tea Party The Chemainus Valley Historical Society gladly invites everyone to come and attend our Diamond Jubilee Celebration of the Queen’s reign. In admiration of Her Majesty's governing of the Commonwealth, our society will be giving a time-honoured English tea June 2 from 1-4 p.m. at Waterwheel Park. We will be serving an afternoon British tea, and there will be old-time British music playing in the background. You may find the Queen or other members of the royal family circulating amongst the visitors. Isabel Askew has graciously consented to attend and welcome the Queen to our lovely town. We invite everyone to embrace this event and come with suitable headdress honouring the Queen's love of hats. The first visit to Chemainus by the Queen was in 1951. Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, during their provincial visits in 1951, spent many days on Vancouver Island, including a short visit to Chemainus. Many of the local people were making the often-repeated comment “Isn’t she lovely.” Even today, you can find some of the older residents in Chemainus who remember this visit. The second visit was planned in 1959. The town was prepared and waiting, and then the people were told the Queen would not be stopping in Chemainus. Many people were upset and wondered why she decided to bypass Chemainus. Later, it was announced that the Queen was pregnant, and the people of Chemainus were relieved. During the garden party, there will be displays showing how the Queen has influenced the area. We will have picture displays of the royal visit to Chemainus. In honour of the Queen, we will have many displays centered on the royal family and their visits to Vancouver Island. By Norma Greer Chemainus Valley Historical Society

Festival of Murals
An outdoor art gallery Y
ou don't have to look very far to see history and art come together in Chemainus. Just look at the outside of the building you're standing next to. There's a good chance it is covered in colourful art showcasing the town's rich history. Chemainus has become world famous for its murals. Celebrating local history, people, faces and works of art, these pieces are subjected to the elements and stand as testaments to the strength and positive energy of the people who call this place home. The first murals appeared on Chemainus' buildings in the early 1980s when it was decided that a revitalization project was needed to bring people to the town. From a first, tentative idea a dream was born.The first suggestions of painting flowers on building walls turned into painting the history of the town on the walls. There are now more than 40 murals and 10 sculptures throughout town, and Chemainus has built a world-class reputation around its art. One exciting new project is set to shine the spotlight even brighter on Chemainus. The Chemainus Festival of Murals has unveiled plans for a striking, 45-foot-high major art project paying tribute to iconic Canadian artist Emily Carr. The finished project will tower 45 feet high and span 20 feet wide. This one-of-a-kind MuralSculpture — so called as it combines sculpture and murals — will be the first of its kind in the world. Surrounded by water,
which will appear to be flowing out of the installment itself, it will feature a First Nations Thunderbird at its highest peak.The finished product will tower 45 feet high and span 20 feet wide. Chemainus is accustomed to welcoming people from all over the world, who come to town to view the beautiful murals and sculptures. And this fall, the town will welcome the world for a very special event, as Chemainus hosts the Global Mural Conference September 10-15. The conference will focus on creating a competitive edge in economic development and tourism, and it is aimed at muralists, economic development executives, painters, artists, tourism boards, municipal CEOs and decision-makers, creative individuals, federal and provincial government staff members, architects, designers and graphic artists — in short, nearly everyone.

Appreciating artwork
Discover an abundance of local art A
rts and culture are very important in Chemainus. You can see that on the outside of the buildings that are covered with the town's famous murals, but it's just as obvious inside many of those spaces. Art lovers always make sure to stop at the Chemainus Theatre Festival. The theatre displays different artwork upstairs near the Playbill Dining Room and houses a gift shop that sells original artwork from more than 100 artisans from across B.C.. The Pottery Store, located on Willow Street, showcases numerous pieces from different potters on Vancouver Island and also invites guests to show their work. For more handmade artwork, visit Sheryl Sawchuk's gallery and studio on Croft Street. The Wednesday Market in the Waterwheel Park parking lot is also a great place to find local artwork. The market runs every Wednesday from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. from June to September. Looking to make art? Bring out your inner artist by painting your own pottery at the Crafty Cuppa Ceramic Studio and Gourmet Café, which is now located on Chemainus Road. Choose your pre-moulded ceramic piece, pick your colours and get painting. When you're done, they'll glaze and fire your work — and you can admire it for years after. Leaving the downtown core, there are plenty of home-based artists from Saltair to Crofton who open their homes to those looking for unique pieces in the Cowichan Valley. If you are in Crofton, Lito's Café displays and sells work from local artisans and painters.

Diving
Unique diving opportunities PHOTO COURTESY OF LAKAN BABAN
T
he only essentially fully intact Boeing 737 artificial reef in the world lies off the coast of Chemainus. And that's only one of the unique opportunities divers can take advantage of as they explore the Salish Sea and the area around Chemainus with guided diving trips through 49th Parallel Dive Charters. The Boeing 737 — which is 100 feet long and 100 feet wide from wing tip to wing tip — is home to about 120 marine species, including everything from bryozoans and hydroids to fish and octopus, explained dive master Peter Luckham. "On any given dive we do there these days, on a single day, you can see 50-60 species," he said. Luckham and the Artificial Reef Society of BC purposely sank the plane in January 2006. "It's been down there six years now, and it's showing very little signs of any deterioration," he said. Luckham says the Boeing attracts scuba divers from around the world. "It's one of these things that ends up on a diver's bucket list," he said, adding a lot of former pilots, flight attendants and engineers like to come explore the sunken plane. Luckham takes people diving all year round.The plane is a major draw, but they also explore historic shipwrecks in Gabriola Pass and Porlier Pass. "These two sites are some of the best dive sites in the world," he said. For more information about diving around Chemainus, call Luckham at 250-252-0758 or visit www.divemaster.ca.

t's a season of celebration, as the Chemainus Theatre Festival turns 20 in 2012. "It's our 20th anniversary, so we tried to bring in a lot of big shows for us; we're using a lot of professionals this season with shows with large casts," says artistic director Mark DuMez. "We brought back a few shows that were crowdpleasers in the early years. This season also features a lot of partnerships with theatres in B.C. It's a very musical season and a lot of comedy, very festive because it's our 20th anniversary. "As far as themes go, we are looking for shows that enrich the human spirit, and I think this season has a lot of shows that celebrate that." The 274-seat theatre welcomes about 70,000 visitors a year to its various shows. People come for the productions, but also for the atmosphere — to see the grand building and its art gallery featuring local art, and to experience the buffet dinners at the Playbill Dining Room, which are themed toward the production on stage. Shows typically run between Wednesday and Sunday, with one to two shows for those days, including matinees. Tickets can be purchased right up until 15 minutes before the curtain rises. The Chemainus Theatre Festival's 20th-anniversary season will be full of highlights. The theatre will welcome its one-millionth patron sometime this year. As well, the Chemainus Theatre Festival will produce its 100th show this season. "Thinking about our 20th anniversary and this season, it's amazing the Chemainus Theatre Festival has been able to do what it has for 20 years," said DuMez. "It's an amazing amenity to have on Vancouver Island for the various communities it serves. Hitting 20 is quite something for an arts organization, particularly in this environment, so we're real thankful for the people who've been patrons and sponsors and supported the theatre." In the past 20 years, the festival has welcomed
hundreds of professional actors and designers to its stage, created 29 new plays and adaptations and produced 50 Canadian works. DuMez is entering his third season as artistic director of the Chemainus Theatre Festival. He has been with the company for more than 12 years, beginning as an actor and then becoming an artistic associate and now artistic director. "It's a great place," he said. "We look forward to many more years of stability and hope to bring joy and inspiration to lots more people." To find out more about the Chemainus Theatre Festival and buy tickets, visit

Crofton
Visit Crofton for its charm T
his quaint village has an interesting past dating back to the 19th century. The original townsite of Osborne Bay was homesteaded by a small number of families in the mid-1800s. Timber and farming were the main economic areas. At the turn of the century, Australian-born Henry Croft developed a mine at Mount Sicker. By 1902, his mine was producing plenty of ore, and Croft bought Osborne Bay to build a copper smelter and house his employees. When copper prices plummeted, the mine closed and the town was supported by logging and fishing. A large pulp mill was built in 1956. Nowadays, visit Crofton for its village charm, breathtaking views and fantastic recreation. While visiting, enjoy swimming, fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing, or peruse the town on foot and pop into the charming shops.
What to do • Visit the Old School House Museum. This one-room school was built in 1905, and it operated until 1948. Discover Crofton’s history through pioneer and smelter displays and artifacts. There is also information about the school when it was used as such. • Explore Osborne Bay Regional Park, or take a picnic and relax at the park. Clam on the beach at Osborne Bay (if there are no harvesting restrictions), fish and view wildlife like sea lions or Orcas. • Take a scenic walk long the boardwalk, which begins at the lower parking lot at the Crofton Small Craft Harbour behind the museum. • Visit Crofton Pool. Call 250-746-POOL for swim times or lessons at this outdoor pool. • Spend time outdoors and hike in Maple Mountain Centennial Park, Mt. Richards and Mt. Prevost. • Fish at some of the neighbouring water holes, like Quamichan Lake, Somenos Lake and Fuller Lake. Those who prefer fishing in saltwater would be well-served to visit the Sansum Narrows, between Vancouver Island and Salt Spring Island.
Getting here Visitors in Chemainus will find it is a quick drive to Crofton. It is accessible from Chemainus and from the Trans Canada Highway. Crofton is located off the Trans Canada Highway on the southeast coast of Vancouver Island, eight kilometres north of Maple Bay and 11 kilometres south of Chemainus. The village can be reached by taking the scenic drive down Chemainus Road to Crofton Road, which turns into Chaplin Street. Crofton is the gateway to Salt Spring Island, a popular destination known for its local arts. The ferry terminal is located in Crofton, and Salt Spring Island is only a 20-minute ride away. www.chemainuschronicle.com
