Parksville Council invites Artists for Legacy Project

Jul 21, 2016 | 11:27 AM

Parksville City Council has made it easier for residents to take part in a legacy project marking Canada’s 150th Birthday in 2017.

At their meeting July 18th, Council voted to spend 10-thousand dollars to purchase the remaining 240 mosaic tiles for an art project.

The City’s Deb Tardiff says the tiles will be provided free of charge to residents.

“We’re going to do it on a first come first serve basis starting on Monday July 25th at eight in the morning here at City Hall. It will be a maximum of four tiles per family,” said Tardiff.

Residents will be given a voucher for the tiles which can redeemed on at a huge decorating event planned for early August.

”These are the days that the artists will be here in Parksville to facilitate what we’re calling Community Painting Days. We’re going to need the 350 people to be down in the Community Park either on Friday August 5th or Saturday August the 6th.”

Tardiff says people that have already bought tiles will have their money refunded.
