Celebrating Vernon's cultural melting pot

This mural celebrates the many cultures that make Vernon home. Included are (left to right) Chinese, Eastern European, Scandinavian, English, Aboriginal, East Indian, Japanese and Belgian. Pierre Eliot Trudeau, the Prime Minister who initiated many of Canada's multicultural policies is pictured on the far right. He died during the painting of this mural.

Unfortunately, in these photos the trees in full leaf hide many of the faces. I guess I'll have to come back in winter when the trees are bare to get the full effect.
