Support is flying in for a new mural in town.

The Roster is hoping to have a large painting of a great blue heron and a scoreboard emblazoned on the side of the building facing 24th Street.

But the project will need approval from the City of Vernon first.

To make sure their case was as strong as possible, the sports bar and grill has a social media survey circulating asking residents if they think the city should approve the heron-themed mural.

So far, nearly 1,000 people have responded - with 97 per cent in favour.

The herons primarily nest in a sanctuary behind the sports club, which is looked after by the Vernon Heronry Protection Society.

In addition to the mural drawing support for the blue-listed birds, the club is raising funds for the society.

The club will donate $2 from every one of its special Blue Heron cocktails sold to the society.
