The RED BRIDGE RAVEN mural is now complete at Kelson Group’s office at 220 4th Avenue. Painted by internationally renowned muralist Archer in collaboration with Kamloops artist Vaughn Warren , the mural brings together local memory, public art, and a symbol many Kamloops residents will recognize.

The mural was painted from May 19 to June 1, 2026, with Kamloops serving as the first stop on ARCHER’s BC-wide mural painting tour. Beginning June 2, 2026, community members are encouraged to stop by Kelson Group to see the completed piece in person.

Natural diamonds are a rare and unique ultimate gift for a loved one. Thought to be one of the hardest substances on the globe, natural diamonds date back billions of years.

April’s birthstone is the diamond. This gemstone holds significant meaning for those born in that month. It is thought to provide the person wearing it with better relationships and an increase in inner strength.

Wearing diamonds is purported to bring other benefits such as balance, clarity and abundance. It’s also symbolic of eternal love, and those fortunate enough to call April their birth month will enjoy learning about the history of this rare gem.
