About:

Communities in Bloom had just opened the River Valley Trail. Dwayne wanted to bring an image of the trail to downtown. He found a beautiful spot, photographed it thoroughly, and then painted it as accurately as he could. You can look for the exact spot on the trail by entering at the Mackenzie access point, and then turning left (south) on the trail. Passerby, Ralph Heitman, suggested to Dwayne that he should paint a deer in the bushes. Dwayne did so, and also added a fawn. Now, over a decade later, trees have grown up in front of the painted deer and fawn. You can still peek through and see them – which Dwayne invites school kids to do when he takes classes on mural tours. The mural depicts a specific spot on the River Valley Trail, a 12km pedestrian and biking path that runs from Williams Lake to the Fraser River.

Artistic Notes:

Dwayne says this mural is all about light, the light of an single moment in time. This is his most nature-focussed mural and he has used an impressionist style. Dwayne painted this one all on his own.

YOUR FAVOURITE AND MOST LOVED PIZZA SHOP!

Following a storage problem at the Station House Gallery & Gift Shop,  led Diane and then board members to an artistic and historical solution.  The gallery uses a lot of wooden shelving units, tables, and plinths that needed a home on the ground floor. The building at #1 McKenzie Ave. N. is an historical building that can’t have major alterations so after a lot of discussion a storage unit was purchased.  Diane described her vision to Brandy Stecyk, one of the board members, who created a mock up, and the project to beautify the storage container was launched.  Diane, with support from the board, carefully chose people with connections to the building itself and to the arts community in the Cariboo to be depicted in the mural. The mural depicts Libby Abbot, a resident of the Station House in its early days, holding a bucket used for whitewashing the building – her mother’s job. Libby went on to work in the Station House Gallery’s gift shop. Vivien Cowen, the woman with the sketch pad, along with her daughters Sania Cornwall and Dru Hodgson were some of the movers and shakers behind the beginnings of the Cariboo Art Society and the Station House Gallery.
The seated man is George Keener, a well-known member of the community and long time director with the Cariboo Friendship Society. He was also involved with the Williams Lake stockyards for more than fifty years.
Standing on the left is Vivienne Dandridge Lanford, who came by train to teach at the Chimney Valley School in the late 1940’s. She was part of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps and is shown in her uniform. She was a member and supporter of the gallery.
The mural was brought to life thanks to the planning, design, and artistic talents of Brandy Stecyk and Dwayne Davis, in the fall of 2021.

Built by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway in late 1919, the Station House, is Williams Lake’s oldest building and has always served as a centre of activity for the community. Over the years it has been a meeting place for civic, schooI boards and other groups. In the 60’s and 70’s the building fell into a state of disrepair, a bit of an eyesore in fact. A group of concerned citizens formed a Society to preserve it and that group, seeing the need for a cultural centre formally became the Station House Studio & Gallery Society in 1981. Since that time it has again become a place to see old friends and enjoy conversations about the town’s goings on.

The building still has its original wood floors, passenger waiting room bench and blueprints are proudly displayed in the stairwell to the upper gallery.

In 2019 the Station House celebrates 100 years of serving the community.

Funded by: The Williams Lake Tribune

About:

Clive and Irene Stangoe purchased Williams Lake The Tribune from George Renner in 1950 and published the paper for the next two decades from the lower floor of their home situated on Oliver Street. Clive was the publisher and Irene was the community editor. In 1973 The Black family bought The Tribune and moved it to its current location on 1st Ave. North. The Williams Lake Tribune was the first paper purchased by the now huge community newspaper chain Black Press. The cowboy silhouette is from the Tribune Paper’s logo. The Tribune wanted its original location, the Stangoe home, painted in the mural along with cows to symbolize Williams Lake’s western culture. Dwayne pulled the 75th issue of the paper and combined the real content of that issue with his made-up story about Communities in Bloom – a tip-of-the-hat to the organization that initiated the mural program.

Artistic Notes:

The first challenge with this wall was the vent that spewed out black residue. Dwayne decided to cover the vent with the dark figure in silhouette. His next challenge was to make the mural both nostalgic and modern. He achieved this by painting the old Tribune building in a realistic style, and painting a larger-than-life paper sporting a 3D page curl. Dwayne had help from his son Steven who painted the cows, trees, and the silhouette.

This is the longest standing trail network in Williams Lake and is host to some of the most stunning scenery in the Cariboo. The network has 28 trails totalling over 45Km of single track riding.

There are three trailheads on the network, all of which has a large kiosk with maps and other information about the trails.

This network is just north of Williams Lake and can be accessed at Deep Creek or Soda Creek. For a super fun quick loop, park at the top of the road leading to X’atsull Heritage Village. Follow the trail under the highway, up, around and down. Looking to extend your ride? Take one of the trails down to X’atsull. This beautiful site is nestled on the banks of the Fraser River.
