Helmcken Road Trestle - Mural Design Selection

"Council reviewed the top three submissions, noting high scores and support for both the staff-recommended Jesse Campbell design and the CDAC-preferred Colin Elder design. The discussion focused heavily on safety, maintenance, and the contentious inclusion of a train image in Campbell's design, given historical sensitivities related to the ENN corridor and reconciliation with local First Nations. Council defeated the motion to select the Campbell design and subsequently passed a motion to select the Colin Elder design."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the mural design submitted by Collin Elder in response to the "Call for Artists" issued June 26, 2023 be selected for the public art acquisition project for the Helmcken Road trestle (N-093)."
