This mural’s design is very natural, including Coast Salish elements, flora and fauna, and pays homage to the colours of W̱SÁNEĆ artwork and materials. The mural creates a space for discovery with culturally important plants and animals that need wet spaces to thrive. These include the WEXES (pacific chorus frog), newts, snakes, garry oaks, arbutus, oceanspray, alder, skunk cabbage, willow, douglas aster, yellow-eyed grass, salmonberry, western buttercup, and blue-eyed grass. The sun and moon are also included, suggesting the interconnectivity between the land and sky.
This mural was created as part of the District of Saanich's 2022 Community Canvas Mural Pilot Project.
