New Totems Take Shape and Colour at the Goth

That second Red Cedar from Chemainus finally gets carved!

The team of youngsters from St Joseph's ELIS which has worked with Kenny Grieve and Tom Ewing to help carve and paint respectively have created two new shorter poles for the Arts Festival, and a third is in preparation. They have dubbed them the 'John Muir' Totems.

The local press were certainly pleased to tell the story:
