Sechelt artist revamps Stanley Park for First Nations’ future
When visitors from around the world trek through Stanley Park in Vancouver this summer, chances are they will find themselves in the Klahowya Village, a brand new cultural exhibit featuring First Nations art, carving, stories, cuisine, performances and history.
The man behind the design and handiwork of the village is Sechelt Nation artist Richard Krentz.
Krentz, who was born in Pender Harbour and grew up north of Sechelt, has been working for weeks on building and carving dozens of pieces for Klahowya Village.
Klahowya is the Chinook word for “welcome.” Krentz said he’s excited to welcome the world.
