A newly completed mural at Black Spit Park, designed by Semiahmoo artist, Roxanne Charles.
Entitled “Tlálh Schache” ‘Saltwater Relatives’, the artwork honours the deep relationship and connection that the Se’mya’me people have with the beautiful coast at Crescent Beach. This work celebrates the strength of the wild birds that carry with them numerous teachings and life lessons, emphasizing their interconnectivity with the surrounding tidal rhythm.
