METRO VANCOUVER — Metro Vancouver recently unveiled the installation of two murals by Rain Pierre, a Katzie First Nation artist.
The murals are on a storage tank near Golden Ears Way and 113B Avenue, visible for travellers on all modes of transportation.
“The designs that I created both have very special meanings to me and Katzie First Nation. I took one of the stories from our book of genesis written by my great-grandfather Peter Pierre and it’s a tribute to my people’s survival,” said Pierre in a release.
“For the other art piece, the heron represents that past — what our people have been through, and the cold, dark history that we have. The eagle represents the fire that we have within us to move forwards as a nation and as people.”
The new storage tank will be a temporary wastewater holder. The infrastructure is part of a suite of projects that will support the expansion of the Northwest Langley Wastewater Treatment Plant.
“This project signifies that no matter what, you should go after your dreams and follow your passions. I have found that in art,” said Pierre.
