 Read about the Chemainus Hermit. We offer you a complimentary deluxe continental breakfast in our "Emily Carr Room". Emily Carr is one of Canada's greatest and most loved artists. Feeling a spiritual connection with her subjects, Emily Carr painted both the landscape and native villages of Western Canada in a unique and modern style that was rejected during its time of production. After years of travel throughout the forests of British Columbia, failing health caused her to remain close to home where she wrote seven books based on her life. Today Emily Carr is highly regarded throughout the world and considered a national icon in Canada. Be sure to visit our World Famous Murals.
The Festival Of Murals in Chemainus will on October 15 at 4.30 PM be unveiling the worlds first Emily Carr outdoor mural right here in Chemainus. A sneak peak
