Information on Romich Centre

On Feb. 12, 2004 Romich Holdings acquired the historic Whaling Wall building, located at 1493 Johnston Road, White Rock, British Columbia.

Information on the Whaling Wall

Romich Centre is proud to be the new owner of White Rock’s iconic Whaling Wall. The Whaling Wall is the “Fourth in a series of international murals by Wyland dedicated to the great whales forever”. This life size, 30’ x 70’ mural painted by internationally known marine wildlife artist Wyland, was dedicated on September 29, 1984. Adjacent to the mural is a plaque with the following inscription:

“The only species of the family Eschrichtidae, this whale, hunted to the brink of extinction has survived only through an effort by conservationists to protect it since 1946. The death of seven Grey Whales in the White Rock area in 1984 illustrates the need to be vigilant in protecting our fragile marine eco-systems from the ravages of pollution. This mural depicts the passage of a mother and calf with male escort as they pass by White Rock on their annual migration from Baja, Mexico to the Bering and Chukchi Seas off Siberia, a trip of 9,600 km (6,000 miles) which takes six to eight weeks at a speed of 160 km (100 miles) per day”

It is Wyland’s hope to create an awareness among people of all nations through his murals so that we may co-exist in peace with these wondrous creatures of the sea and enjoy them as a living resource. For more information on Wyland, please visit www.wyland.com.
