Chemainus BC is the Mural Capital of Canada
The small seaside community of Chemainus BC Canada has more than 40 professionally painted murals. These murals, together with carvings and statues, tell the history of the area. This makes Chemainus a must-see when visiting Vancouver Island. The murals attract many visitors annually from all over. This video takes in the murals I was able to see from one street corner. It is best to park your vehicle and explore the visual history as you make your way through the streets.
