What Is It Wednesday: The Peachland Community Arts Council - CANADA 150 PROJECT 🍁🍁

To commemorate Canada’s birthday the Arts Council challenged themselves by asking locals and tourists alike to assist them in breaking a Guinness World record. We needed in excess of 2603 individual participants, (the record at the time held by a school in China), for the most contributors to participate in a ‘paint by number’. Not only did we put together a unique and interesting way to celebrate Canada’s birthday, the project itself engaged Peachlanders and others from literally around the country and world as they brought family and friends into our Art Gallery to paint their 1” square and receive the commemorative postcard. It was an outstanding effort by everyone involved, drew a large number of people into the Gallery and Peachland gained international exposure. We were in the process of receiving official verification when it was reported that 13,284 people in Doha, Quatar shattered our record of 6,048 participants. Considering the demographics of the city of Doha, with a population base in excess of 1.5 million, Peachland should be extremely proud of itself. We know we are! Although we never officially held the Guinness record, we do believe that it still is a Canadian, if not a North American record.

The Picture:
Taken about 1914, this rare picture of Peachland’s waterfront shows the SS Sicamous docked at the CPR Wharf.
- The buildings on the lakeside are, from left to right, the Lakeview Hotel (which would later move to J.M. Robinson’s home and become the Edgewater Hotel). It has also been known as the Totem Inn as well.
- Next to it is the Cutbill and Eyre Livery Stable.
- The building with the roof ventilators and chimney out front was one of BC’s first jam factories.
- The last building with the square false front of 2 stories was the Peachland Fruit Union packing house.
- In the foreground is the famous eight-sided Baptist Church which is now the proud home of the Peachland Museum.
- Mural can be found on the side of the shed, next to the Museum building
