US EditionChemainus mural cleaner retires after 30 years of care
- Wayne Gilmore is retiring after nearly 30 years cleaning and maintaining Chemainus murals, spending his last months training a replacement.
- The mural project began as a response to Chemainus facing economic disaster after its major employer, the sawmill, closed.
- Gilmore, who has deep knowledge and affection for the murals, has overseen care of historical series, Emily Carr and Community murals, plus sculptures.
- Gilmore said, "I've done these forever, and they're my kind of friends," reflecting his attachment, and noted locals often walk by without noticing the art.
- Gilmore expects the Festival of Murals Society's care tradition to continue, sustaining the murals and supporting Chemainus's economic well-being.
