HISTORY MURAL: One of six panels on the RBC building across from the Dairy Queen drive-thru, this mural is nearing completion. Together they tell the story of qathet’s history – including railways, farming, fishing and more. An orange ribbon runs through each panel, acknowledging the experience of Tla’Amin Nation through the first century of colonization here. The mural is a project of the Powell River Brain Injury Society in collaboration with Tla’amin Nation. The lead artist is Whitney LaFortune. The society received a grant from the Disability Alliance of BC to do the project.
