Ice Sculpture: The Beaver, a Canadian Symbol

Description

This ice sculpture by carvers Julien Doré and Jean-François Gauthier highlights the 50th anniversary of Parliament naming the beaver as an official symbol of Canada. Already an important cultural figure for many Indigenous groups, the beaver has been recognized as a symbol representing Canada since the early 17th century, when beaver pelts were a fundamental part of the economy of New France. On March 24, 1975, it was designated by Parliament as an official symbol of the sovereignty of Canada. Presented by Tim Hortons.
