With donations from residents and businesses since then, the community whittled that number down to $2,o00. BԪַThatBԪַs a lot of community support and a few large donations,BԪַ Adams said.

The a sculpture features a pack of wolves and a large buck in QueensBԪַ Park. It was among the ArtsAlive 2016 sculptures. A busy artist with installations filling his time, Hall left the loan in place a little longer than usual. It was a close second in the public vote that saw Oak Bay purchase the Acorns at municipal hall that year.
