Located on the Ambleside Park, Beach Groyne in West Vancouver, BC, the Welcome Figure was a gift from the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) First Nation. 

The artist Sequiliem (Stan Joseph) says of the work, "This Squamish Nation figure was carved to represent our grandmother’s strength, to carry on our traditions and teachings that were told to us and so that we may respect the land, animals and all people who come to these shores of our home." 

Artist: Sequiliem (Stan Joseph)
Head Carver: Chiaxsten (Wes Nahanee)
Date of Construction: July 2001

While driving to Whistler/Blackcomb on a late Friday evening with the hope of taking pictures for the weekend, the roads were deserted and the sun was setting.  The highway, Interstate 90, offered few clear views of the surrounding area. As I came around a curve approaching Anvil Island, a brief opening of a view lended itself to see the bay converging with the mountains with the light fading fast. I stood on a jersey barrier the width of a balance-beam off Interstate 90 balanced with the camera over my head and the viewfinder tilted down to frame the shot. Maybe 50% luck, 50% balance.
