Our Dad took us all to the library every Saturday morning, one of my favourite childhood memories looking back from my mid70s. Our 12 year old granddaughter is a library lover, and knows she can take out as many books as she can carry. I am happy to have my taxes used to support our local library.

The eagle, which is considered a symbol of power, is designed around the image of a man whose arms are raised, welcoming visitors and also gesturing flight. On the chests of the men are salmon motifs to represent the Coast Salish people, who still live and fish along these shores.

"Flight" is the world's largest Coast Salish Spindle Whorl and relates to the large-scale weavings included in this contemporary art installation. The artwork is presented in a setting of water and stone, symbolic of this land. The spindle whorl uses traditional images to depict the theme of flight.
