The Castlegar Legion Military Mural was created in 2021 by West Kootenay mural artist Tyler Toews of Canadian Murals. The design features a cross intertwined with a white ribbon and poppies. There is representation from all three branches of the Canadian Forces - a military helmet sits atop the cross, while military boots sit at its base; a sailor's cap sits along the ribbon and a Royal Canadian Air Force cap rests above an image.
The legion’s Ways and Means Officer Bev Storvold first suggested the idea of mural, but it took several years to come to fruition. Storvold didn’t give up and a Columbia Basin Trust grant was secured for the project. The organizers included Legion Vice President Dean Burdeyny, Ways and Means Officer Bev Storvold and President Chris McBain.
