Chemainus, BC



A few weeks ago we went to the cutest little town, Chemainus, BC. We have lived in the Cowichan Valley for a year and a half and have only discovered this old sawmill town that is now filled with art and artists.



The town is "word famous" for its outdoor murals featured on buildings all around downtown Chemainus. Many of these murals feature real people, both natives and English settlers and shows a beautiful way to study the past of this pioneering town. I recommend buying the $3 map that shows where each mural is located as well as information on each one.







Chemainus is also where we discovered The Crafty Cuppa, a paint your own pottery store. We had so much fun picking out our pieces and designing them. I will have to add pictures of our finished projects, they turned out very nicely.
