Tiffany Jorgensen has added another beautiful mural to our downtown, sponsored in part by the 2026 Public Art Grant!

Yesterday Mayor Surinderpal Rathor and Downtown Williams Lake's Sherry Yonkman presented Tiffany's final grant installment to her (and to her horse Pete, of course, who is featured in the mural!) This annual grant is co-sponsored by the City of Williams Lake and Downtown Williams Lake BIA. Melynda Neufeld, Vice-Chair of the Cariboo Regional District was also present, representing the CRD and the enormous pallet they have graciously provideded across the back of their building on 3rd Avenue.

The beautiful Cariboo Reflections Mural Project is a multi-artist, multi-year endeavour with a goal to provide a view of the Cariboo's beauty to the residents of AgeCare Cariboo Place. Tiffany's panel is the 3rd of 6 panels that will eventually grace the entire alley between the two buildings. The first two panels were painted in 2025 by Dwayne Davis and Steven Davis-Gosling. The project was originally dreamed of by Chip Schick and Tammy Tugnum, who both had parents living in the facility at the time. If you would like to contribute to the project, reach out to the Cariboo Reflections Mural Projec page on Facebook.

Passers-by on 3rd Avenue N. may have watched the progress of a colourful, beautiful addition to downtown Williams Lake this summer! Courtney Patenaude has brightened up the side Sam's Restaurant with a mural funded by a 2026 Williams Lake Public Art Grant.

While you may have seen Courtney's art in many other mediums, this is Courtney's first mural. Appropriately named 'Frolic', these brightly coloured abstract flowers will definitely urge you to do just that.

The Public Art Grant contributes $10,000 each year to creating long-term art and beauty in our City. Co-sponsored by the City of Williams Lake and Downtown Williams Lake BIA, applications open up each year in January.

Present in the picture are Philip Ng, owner of Sam's Restaurant, Mayor Surinderpal Rathor, artist Courtney Patenaude, and Downtown Williams Lake BIA's Sherry Yonkman.

Thank you Courtney, for sharing your colourful spirit with us!
