Chemainus was first populated with quiet bays in the area inhabited by First Nations people. In 1958, it became an unincorporated logging town and grew as the railroad reached the area in the 1880s. It eventually was designed as a census populated area. The name Chemainus comes from native shaman and prophet Tsa-meenun-is, whose name means broken chest. According to legend, Tsa-meenun-is survived a massive chest wound and became a powerful tribal chief.

What is the art and culture like in Chemainus, British Columbia?

Many visitors to Chemainus come for the arts, particularly the Chemainus Murals, but in 1982, the community had just five murals — and enough determination to earn the nickname The Little Town That Did. The next year, it won the New York Downtown Revitalization Award for redevelopment that included a huge expansion of the murals. Today, Chemainus has more than 40 murals in the famed Historical Series, as well as newer murals in the Emily Carr Series and Community Mural Series, accompanied by more than 10 sculptures.

The most famous mural, "Native Heritage" by Paul Ygartua, is where many visitors stop first. It features compelling images of First Nations faces. Ygartua restored the painting in 2014. "The Lone Scout" features Edward Shige Yoshida, who was raised in Chemainus and started the 2nd Chemainus Boy Scouts, an all-Japanese Canadian scout troop. The mural was painted by Stanley Hiromichi Taniwa, a Japanese Canadian who was a baby when he was taken from Chemainus to an internment camp during World War II.

Cin MacDonald painted seven of the murals — three each in the Historical Series and the Emily Carr series, and one in the Community Mural Series. She was born in Scotland but moved to Victoria as a child and later moved to Crofton. Dan Sawatzky painted five of the historical murals, the first in 1983, after which he lived in Chemainus for 18 years.

You can view these and other murals by following footprints on a self-guided tour, going on a trolley for a heritage tour, or taking a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The Chemainus Visitors Center will give you a map and background on the murals. You might even like to try all three methods. You'll find shops, restaurants, galleries, and more along the way.

Chemainus has many painters, sculptors, fiber artists, photographers, jewelry makers, and writers. A number of galleries featuring local and regional art are in the community and the surrounding area. You can see professional theater at theChemainusTheatre, which offers the Playbill Dining Room and the Gallery Gift Shop featuring artists from British Columbia. Check out a play or a musical, or make a night of it with a dinner theater production.

First Nations culture and heritage is an important focus in Chemainus and the surrounding area. Three tribes are in the Chemainus area: the Stz'uminus, the Penelakut, and the Halalt. The Quw'utsun' Cultural and Conference Centre in Duncan celebrates the area's First Nations people and their history. You can view wood carvers and painters working on canoes and totem poles, as well as smaller works. Traditional Cowichan sweater displays are on hand, and you can see women knitting the renowned sweaters. The facility has a gift shop.

The Chemainus Valley Museum in Waterwheel Park has many local and area artifacts on display. For a unique twist, drive to Cowichan Bay to see the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre, a marine museum on a pier that extends into the bay. The exhibits are housed in buildings along their pier to foster a sense of connection to the sea.

Opportunities to experience art, culture, history, water activities, sightseeing, and more abound in Chemainus, The Little City That Did. You'll develop fond memories of visiting this charming little town. Be sure to interact with friendly villagers in the shops and on the sidewalks as you take in Chemainus' famous murals. You may hear some great stories.
