April 15, 2025

A stunning carving by Esk'etemc (Alkali Lake) artist Wilfred Robbins Sr. will take centre stage at the opening of TRU's Williams Lake commencement ceremonies starting this May and for years to come.

Robbins is the son of Duncan and Lottie Robbins and comes from the hereditary chief bloodline. He carries an abundance of knowledge of Secwépemc culture and traditions that he is proud to preserve and pass down through both his craftsmanship and way of life.

Carved from a single piece of moose antler, the bald eagle (Spelqweqs) mace by Esk'etemc artist Wilfred Robbins Sr. will be featured at TRU's annual commencement ceremony in Williams Lake.
