The pole was erected at the terminal in 1966 after being created by a then-24-year-old Tony Hunt Sr. as a centennial project
A totem pole commissioned almost 60 years ago by B.C. Ferries has been gifted to the family of the man who carved it, and will be placed at his grave to honour his legacy.
B.C. Ferries said it began considering what to do with the totem pole last year after concerns were raised about its safety because of rot and wear. Edenshaw said there is a special procedure for moving a totem pole and she had many conversations with Stanley Clifford Hunt, Tony Sr.’s brother, to make sure it was done properly, like keeping it from touching the ground.
He said he is going to restore his brother’s totem pole and “bring it back to as good a life as I can.”
