After we left Duncan we meandered up to Chemainus. What an incredible little town. We just spent less than an hour there, but I would love to spend a whole day. Cute little shops and restaurants, little old houses all painted up really cute, but the main attraction is the murals. There are over 3 dozen murals painted on the downtown walls. It is know as the little town that did. In 1983 the mill closed and about 1/4 of the people in the town lost their jobs. So the downtown area was revitalized to attract the tourist industry and it has become a the town industry.
This is a link to the murals.
