Canada 150 Celebrations – UNVEILING #24
Aug, 2017
Arrowsmith Hall, Coombs Fair Grounds, Coombs, BC
We were pleased to be invited by the Arrowsmith Agricultural Association to show the series as part of their Canada 150 Celebrations at the Coombs Fair in August 2017. To commemorate the event, Joan created #24 in the series which was unveiled at the fair during a special invitational event.
This artwork pays homage to the past and present history of the RCMP. The setting depicts Depot in Regina and the 2 mounted officers represent historical and contemporary uniforms and gear. Unveiling the artwork is Chief Michael Recalma from the Qualicum First Nations and SS Marc Pelletier from the Oceanside RCMP.

- #23 shows Supt. Marty Chesser at the head of his column of officers. The reference for this artwork came from photos that Joan took when the RCMP Musical Ride performed at this exact location in 2009. Supt. Chesser was previously unaware that he was the subject matter for this artwork.

- After the festivities of the weekend, Joan and Paul invited the Musical Ride officers and friends to a casual BBQ at their acreage. Pictured here in front of the studio, it was a special evening, one that will live in Joan’s memory forever.
