Description of work

An elegant figurative relief in nouveau modernist style depicts nature and industry and stands out against a corrugated background surface. The building was formerly the Vancouver Labour Temple and opened in 1949. In the 1970's, labour organizations started to move out and the building then housed the Forensic Psychiatric Outpatients Clinic serving the nearby hospital. The image is based on the wheel of industry and the figures include people engaged in different kinds of work, airplanes, buildings, plants, birds, and animals on a background of sun rays.
