Tara was welcomed by the Snuneymuxw (Soo-nay-mook) First Nation and learned about the sacred art of totem pole carving.  Noel, a locally-renowned carver, has been commissioned to carve a totem (4-5 feet tall) and will be onsite carving this totem which will later be gifted to Tara Slone.  He will also be carving a mini totem pole replica that will remain with the City as a legacy piece of Rogers Hometown Hockey coming to Nanaimo.
