 Artist
Kevin Cranmer designed the logo shown to the right for the
Laichwiltach Family Life Program at Campbell River. The design
is comprised of several elements symbolic of the society's
goals and objectives. Represented in the design are:
- FAMILY - shown here by a mother figure, father figure
and a small child.
- VALUES - the unification of the family in itself isindicative
of values, through SHARING, HEALING and through the family's
sense of COMMUNITY.
The family, while comprised of individuals with unique needs
and aspirations, SHARE in the values which contribute to a
healthy family life.
Through their participation in the traditions and ceremonies
of the bighouse, the family extends its participation in and
sense of COMMUNITY.
The copper, held here by the mother figure, further symbolizes
the family's sense of SHARING, HEALING and VALUES - both in
terms of social order within the potlatch community and in
terms of spirituality on an individual level as well as at
family, extended family and community levels.
- LIFE - represented here by the continuum of the "Tree
of Life."
Extending from the outer reaches of the circle, the roots
of the tree delicately traverse the design to connect each
person, pausing momentarily to display its many branches and
the strength of the trunk from which each branch originates,
and then carrying on to join once again the outer circle which
is representative of all LIFE.
- Finally, the artist has encapsulated the design in circular
form to signify the holistic approach to family life - which
is the Laichwiltach Family Life Program.
