This is one of three public restrooms in Downtown Williams Lake. Please note that these washrooms are closed during the winter months.

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.

About:

This display is made up of three murals located in the foyer of the Cariboo Memorial Arena Complex.  Each mural celebrates the rich hockey history of our area, and the importance of sports to building a healthy community. The three teams depicted; Alkali Lake Braves – circa 1931, the Williams Lake Stampeders – circa 1961, and the Williams lake Mustangs – circa 1982, were selected for both their accomplishments, as well as their time frame between them to show how long of a time hockey has been played in the area. Many of the players were imported in and have stayed on and have become important leaders and businessmen in the community.

Artistic Notes:

Painting so many faces together proved to be a challenge. One of the most intriguing parts were to get the head sizes for every one correct. One does not realize that the people in the back row will be just a tiny bit smaller than in the front. One size does not fit all!

Artist: Dwayne Davis & Steven Davis-Gosling
Made Possible by: Dan and Vivian Simons, Spectre Automotive, City of Williams Lake, plus individuals and community groups. (The most prominent of these are acknowledged in a plaque dedicated to the mural.)

About:

(From Dwayne Davis, artist) The mural’s purpose is to show the moose that reside in our area, and to bring awareness to their environmental needs to help keep a healthy and strong population for future generations to enjoy.

The project was originally the brainchild of Kane Fraser. He mentioned to Dan Simons that the wall on the building would make a great spot for Dan to have a mural. Dan in turn asked me at Davis Arts to come up with a concept and a quote. I made a concept package that Dan took around. The original design for the wall was laid out with more sky and smaller sized moose, to help to limit the cost of the project. I was asked by Scott Nelson to make the moose more prominent in the design … “Go big or go home!” So I changed the layout to the design that became the framework of the now finished mural.

Artistic Notes:

Painted mostly in acrylic exterior house paints, the 22 X 55 foot Cow Moose mural was painted over 25 days.

Re tsitcw-emp … home. Not just a dwelling, not just a location. Home is safety. Love. Family.

We are proud to present this beautiful Downtown Williams Lake mural, painted by the very talented Al-Lisa McKay of Miss White Spider Arts. A mother’s arms protect and shelter, giving peace and security despite the pull of the wind. The colours in the mother’s dress represent wisdom and bravery, and the red dress of the daughter represents courage. This mural glows in the afternoon sun and adds such warmth and beauty to our building.

We want to thank Al-Lisa for bringing this vision to life, and also thank Williams Lake First Nation for giving their guidance and blessing to the project. The mural is a recognition of the past, a tribute to the journey that has taken place, and a hope for healing to continue in the future.

Spearheaded by Andrew Sandberg, president of the Daybreak Rotay Club, this mural salutes all of the volunteers in our community. The Rotary Recognizes Volunteers mural was painted in 2022 by Dwayne Davis, with the Rotary logo, trees and many helping hands providing a foundation, volunteers from our community were then invited to participate in the finishing of the mural, adding their own hand prints as the leaves on each of the trees in the mural. It is a true testiment to our community, and the spirit of giving to one another through our time and efforts. This mural was funded by public art grants from Downtown Williams Lake BIA and City of Williams Lake, and by Williams Lake Daybreak Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Williams Lake.

Painted in 2023 by Tiffany Jorgensen and Sarah Sigurdson of Cariboo Art Beat, Unbreakable was designed to represent the culture of Williams Lake. This mural pays homage to the business that has made it’s home at 48 Yorston Street for many years, as well as to our World Famous Williams Lake Stampede. The mural was painted with an air of realism, showcasing our cityscape as the background. Jorgensen commented that the mural depicts the essence of Williams Lake being rooted in tradition, while simutanously breaking through as new and exciting. For her, it holds a true feel of Williams Lake – familiar, beautiful, evolving, and a powerful yet natural presence. This mural was funded by Public Art Grants from Downtown Williams Lake BIA and City of Williams Lake, and by Stampede Glass.

Painted during the summer of 2022, Mural of Dreams is a student-led mural project, combining creative forces from Foundry Cariboo Chilcotin and Cariboo Art Beat.

The project was completed with mentorship from Tiffany Jorgensen and Sarah Sigurdson.

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.

Crafted from an original photo taken by Frederick Dally in 1867, Nine Chiefs depicts a group of nine indigenous leaders who traveled from the Cariboo to New Westminster, BC, for political discussions on reservation placements. The nine chiefs are wearing a variety of traditional dress, including leather, tassled jackets and furs. Throughout the mural you can also see a number of traditional tools, drums, baskets, and more. The Nine Chiefs mural was painted by local artist Dwayne Davis in 2017, under the instruction of the Cariboo Frienship Society. The nine chiefs from the original photo are represented by the nine centre men in the mural. From left to right, we believe there were: Na nah of Dog Creek Band, Quil – quailse of Alkali Lake Band, Ta – o’task of Canoe Creek Band, Williams of Williams Lake Band, Se – as – kut of Kenpesq’t (Shuswap) Band, Timpt khan of Babine Lake Band, Silkosalish of Lillooet Band, Kam – eo – saltze of Soda Creek Band, and Sosastumpi of Bridge Creek Band.
