A Mural Committee consisting of Local artists Doreen Kalmakoff, Mike Raymer, Marj Pool and Rosemarie Banda was founded and in the following months several murals were painted throughout the community. The objective of the committee was to create an outdoor gallery depicting local wildlife, agriculture and scenery. To date 13 murals have been completed with preliminary plans for several more.
