OLD NEWS
White Rock gets a much needed facelift
After much debate the Bosa high rises are going ahead in in late 2007 we have two towers rising above the sleepy town of White Rock, its landscape forever changed.With this setting a precedent I am sure that we will see much more revitalization and improvement to the City over the years.
We hope that it is done in balance and with council
reflecting upon their responsibilities towards keeping with the ambiance and quality of life in this fine town.
Some history about the Whaling Wall and its recent restoration:
The wall, dedicated in 1984, was a gift to the city from California
marine wildlife artist Wyland and the Sea Shepherd Conservation
Society. It portrays a mother grey whale and her calf, along with a
male escort, passing White Rock on their annual migration between
Mexico and the Bering Sea.
The Whaling Wall was restored a number of years ago through a public funding
drive led by former White Rock councillor James Coleridge.
Located in the Sea Side Resort City of White Rock, British Columbia
Canada. The Wall is 21 meters long and was painted in 1984. This was
Wylands First International wall. Wyland meet the then Mayor,Gordon
Hogg at Wylands Art show at the Vancouver Aquarium.
The Mayor and
Wyland soon had an agreement to do a Whaling Wall in White Rock, the
Mayor arranged all the permits and Wyland was embraced by the
community of White Rock as he Painted the Wall. The wall depicts a
mother Gray Whale and her calf on the annual migration from Mexico to
the Bering Seas.
