Legend has it that the first chief of the Chemainus First Nation earned his position after surviving a chest wound. Over a century later, his namesake town also suffered a near-fatal wound when its sawmill closed in 1983. At the time, the population was about 2,000, and almost 600 jobs were lost. It was devastating—homes were in foreclosure, families moved away, businesses closed. The town was dying.

Some citizens banded together and applied for a revitalization grant. They held a garbage can-painting competition, and the charming entries still line the streets today. Artists were hired to paint murals depicting the history of the area. Business people opened galleries filled with wares from local potters, sculptors and painters. Chemainus isn't simply about art; it's about turning adversity into an advantage.

Over 5,000 people now live in Chemainus. The entrepreneurial spirit is still being displayed with amazing creativity. Like the first chief, Chemainus has done more than just survive.
