This project is working toward urban renewal. World acclaimed “Muralist Michelle Loughery” is part of the non-profit that runs this program.The youth project while not on the scale of the Very succesful “peace corp” of the US 1960’s era and is more local, however the scope of the artist is out and about the world so its effect goes beyond our doors. This particular work is off the parking lot and Garcia Street side of the local First Nations administration building many of the participants and the person in the picture is a member of the First Nations, Michelle has authored numbers of country music star’s murals and an inclusive mosaic at the local museum.
Good luck to those that are involved.

This is the VIP stop for the press at one of the entrances of the Merritt Mountain Music festival, it has been announced that they will be selling tickets starting next month for another festival.

Lots of luck and its all up to the consumer and where they trust their hard-earned bucks…….
