New Indigenous mural at Kelowna Cancer Clinic to give patients 'hope'

On May 23, 2025, Indigenous artist Sheldon Louis unveiled a new mural called 'mumsix' at the cancer treatment center located in Kelowna.
The mural arose from Louis's personal experience with his parents’ cancer battles and aims to bridge local First Nations and provincial healthcare.
Louis created the mural with family and friends, placing it in the clinic entryway to offer hope to waiting patients and their families.
During the ceremony of about 50 attendees, Louis said the key word was 'hope' and revealed his dad is cancer-free as of February 14, 2025.
The mural intends to give Indigenous people a sense of belonging and support healing between traditional medicine and healthcare systems in the region.
