Hydro Boxes:
Take a moment to see the inspiring and stunning local artwork installed on two hydro boxes in 2020, designed by two shíshálh Nation artists—Manuela Salinas (the orca) and Charles Craigan (the frog).
Metal Wall Panels:
Throughout the shopping centre are a series of metal artwork panels, designed by Manuela Salinas, that tell the story of ch’inkw’u (the two-headed sea serpent). The sea serpent symbolizes a legendary animal with infinite strength to preserve and restore balance amongst all living things. Look for the interpretation panel on the exterior of the centre building to learn more.
Wall Carving:
The double-headed eagle and serpent—by the late Ɂantuni Tony Paul.
