The Sun & Moon plaque was hand-carved and painted by Penelakut artist, Delbert Peter.

The Sun is provider of healing, energy and life. Put into the sky by Raven, the sun's rays are means of travel between earth and sky.

Moon is the guardian of the people. They watch over us and can help us change the way we feel.

Delbert is a Coast Salish carver from Penelakut (formerly Kuper) Island. Belonging to the Penelakut First Nation, the island is located in the southern Gulf Island chain in the Strait of Georgia, off the east coast of Vancouver Island.
