- Description:
- This is a beautiful but standard mass-produced dial, with chapter rings for Roman numerals, hour lines, half and quarter hour lines. In the center is the sun surrounded by a compass rose, The dial itself is brass, but sits on a round cast iron base all sitting on a square concrete pillar. The gnomon was vandalized and now is missing. The base is losing its protective coat of paint and starting to rust. A thick hedge has grown up around the sundial, obscuring the sun on the east, south and west sides. It appears to be largely ignored.
- Inscription:
- On dial face: "I count only the sunny hours" A plaque on the pedestal reads: "To commemorate the contribution made to the community by our Scandinavian pioneers. 1989. Scandinavian Club."

- This dial is similar to the Nanaimo Harbour Front sundiall (#991)
