Students and members of the public attended an event held to celebrate the completion of the Kanaka Creek Interpretive Art Mural Project on Thursday afternoon, June 8.

The City of Maple Ridge, Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation, and Metro Vancouver hosted the free event to recognize the work that went into the mural project painted on a retaining wall at the fish fence in Kanaka Creek Regional Park.

The work was created by artists and local young people, including art students from Samuel Robertson Technical, who came to admire the finished work on Thursday.

Ross Davies, who is the education coordinator for the Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Society (KEEPS), which maintains the fish fence at the site, said the mural tells the story of the salmon life cycle.
