Qeseq Totem Pole
Public
Art is one use of Tax Revenue, and it is also an opportunity
to share our culture with visitors.
The
pole was designed by Clarence Dick Jr. based on the legend
of Qeseq.
Clarence
and Fabian Quocksister carved the pole on site at our
Band Office to the delight of staff and visitors.
We
unveiled the pole at our 3rd Annual Open House, June 24,
2006.

Drainage
Improvements
In
2005, our drainage system was re-designed to collect the
water as it moves from the high end of Cooper Lane towards
the lower end at Craigflower and Admirals Roads.
|
 |
 |
New
sidewalks were added to Cooper Road to improve pedestrian
safety and reduce speed.
