The owner of a building bearing a well-known orca mural in downtown Victoria says the jury is out on whether it will be redone during a planned redevelopment of the building.
“Wyland is pushing to have it done.

In a heritage conservation plan submitted to the city last November, heritage consultant Donald Luxton and Associates said removing the mural would damage the building’s bricks, as the paint was directly applied to them.
