This mural was started by the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture Public Arts Committee for the 75th D-Day Anniversary. Funding was received from the CBT Public Arts Fund, Nelson District Credit Union Rossland Branch, and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 14.
The mural was painted on 4'x8' panels by local artist Tyler Toews and mounted on the outside wall of the J. Van der Ham building near the cenotaph. It depicts wildflowers of the West Kootenay region, symbolizing Canada's commitment to peace and also commemorating the locals who served during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The mural was completed in time for the 2019 Remembrance Day Service.
