Talk about feeling welcomed by a community! We experienced such amazing support from the entire community of Port Moody while we were turning their trees blue.
Big thanks to Devin Jain and Kristin Tracey from the city, who were particularly amazing from start to finish!
Also, thank you everyone who came out on Sunday to welcome Kon and hear his talk. Don’t forget we have another one coming up on April 7th at 7pm, Richmond City Hall.
Have you gone and seen the blue trees yet? No?! Well get out there already! We would love for you to go and check out the beautiful electric blue trees at the Port Moody Civic Center and arts centre, but just in case you can’t – here’s a look at the before and after!

With rain in the forecast we were feeling a little nervous when we woke up today and on our way out to Port Moody for another day of Blue Trees at the civic centre. Yesterday, we got an amazing start on the 16 beautiful cherry trees that line the roundabout in front of the civic centre.
“We’ll just have to see how it goes,” said Kon. Luckily the rain held off and we spent another day under the sun!
Kevin Griffin from the Vancouver Sun came out to interview Kon. Photographers, families and even a documentary film maker came by to talk to the blue covered man atop the orange ladder.
We could not be more thankful of the weather and the warm reception we’ve had in beautiful Port Moody – here’s a look at the pics from today!
Tomorrow we will be doing final touches at the civic centre site and then heading over to the arts centre to get cracking on their HUGE tree (2425 St. John’s Street) come by and say hi to us!

What a great start we’ve already had on day one in Port Moody. After being warmly greeted by city staff we began our blue forest at site number one – Port Moody Civic Centre!
The day has been filled with people coming out to see Kon and his blue trees. Some we’ve surprised on their way to pay a parking ticket, and others were just out for a walk on a nice day. We even had a critic, who Kon won over and we’re happy to say that he’s officially signed up to be a volunteer!
Doubt us if you must, but these blue trees are making big waves and a lot of happy people.
Here’s a look at our big, beautiful, sunny day one in Port Moody. If you doubt us, or if you love us we’d love to see here! We’ll be back tomorrow working on the trees at the Port Moody Civic Centre (100 Newport Dr).
