This is the first Community Painted Mural that was painted during the BC Culture Days event October 1-3, 2021. The mural was designed by Lucy Fournier, a local Cloverdale student attending Emily Carr Art + Design school in Vancouver. The project was generously sponsored by Cloverdale Paint a local family business that started on a farm and is now a national brand! Everyone coming together to add some sunshine to our community!

SUNSHINE CIRCLE Inspiration…
At the turn of the last century, there was no such thing as social assistance. Instead, it fell to churches, philanthropic organizations or individuals to provide assistance for those in need. In the Cloverdale area, if a woman was expecting a baby, members of the Sunshine Circle of the King's Daughters (founded by Martha Currie in 1905) would provide a layette, a set of clothing for a newborn. The King's Daughters was a Christian service organization which held rummage sales, teas and other events to raise funds.
