Port Moody has a new Before I Die wall, the latest trend to hit urban centres, where residents and visitors can write their bucket list desires in chalk.

The wall, located at Moody Ales in the city’s popular Brewers Row on Murray Street, was organized by the Port Moody Rotary Club.

Organizers say the wall is designed to inspire people to follow their goals and perhaps even spot some new ones.

The club unveiled the wall during a special event Saturday. Organizer Claire Lambert said funds raised at such events are used for grants for teams and scholarships to send kids to Camp Jubilee.

“Moody Ales has been amazing with helping us make this a reality, and also with their creative input and space as well as just being exceptional human beings,” wrote Lambert, in an email message.

The Before I Die Project started as a public art project, and is a tribute to living an examined life, and people’s connection to each other, according to the project’s website.

The original wall was created on an abandoned house in New Orleans by artist Candy Chang after the death of someone she loved.

Since then, more than 4,000 Before I Die walls have been created in 78 countries around the world, according to the project.
