Victoria: Coast Salish project takes shape, colour
Bonnie Quaite fine tunes the painted borders of a spirit in the sky, blowing a ship to shore.

Quaite is the team leader of a group of six youth spending their summer painting mural to be mounted along the Ogden Point breakwater.
Using a projector, they transfer the original work of art onto large panels.

Last year’s mural displays a unique Coast Salish designs from the land and sea on each panel, each with its own story
