Neil's Murals In 100 Mile House: 2
Neil's second mural, located on the Curling Club, was a two phase project commissioned as a 2010 Winter Olympics legacy. Depicted are Stan Halcro, who played a vital role in the development of sporting in this region, and renowned athlete Gabe Bergen, depicted carrying the torch during the Olympic torch relay. A variety of winter sports popular in the Cariboo are also featured, along with the visitor information centre, and the aurora. The mural was completed in August 2010.
