Saskatchewan will become the permanent home of one of 13 unique works of art representing Canadian provinces and territories that have been created in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary.
The horse and rider stand more than 14 feet tall and 14 feet long, with the lance held by the rider rising nearly 20 feet into the air. The metal structure is decorated with more than 13,000 plants and flowers, including dragon’s breath, black mondo grass, carex and santolina.
“Since its formation in 1873, the RCMP has been closely associated with Saskatchewan, especially its role in training cadets for service in communities across the country,” RCMP Heritage Centre CEO Marty Klyne said. “It’s only fitting that as a national icon, the RCMP Horse and Rider has been chosen to represent our province on this special anniversary for Canada.”
The horse and rider will be transported to Saskatchewan following the Gatineau exhibition, with arrangements being made for a permanent home where it will be put on display for public viewing.
Other Canadian provinces are represented by horticulture structures depicting a killer whale for British Columbia, a wild rose for Alberta, a polar bear for Manitoba, the Niagara Gateway for Ontario, Jacques Cartier’s ships for Quebec, a horse for New Brunswick, a fisherman and dory for Nova Scotia, a red fox for Prince Edward Island, puffins for Newfoundland and Labrador, a drum dancer for Nunavut, a prospector for the Yukon, and musk oxen for the Northwest Territories.
The unique MosaiCanada 150 project in Gatineau was funded by Canadian Heritage, the Government of Quebec and the Ville de Gatineau. The exhibition consists of 32 horticulture artworks, comprised of 120 structures that include First Nations lore and legends, a 13 metre tall Mother Earth, a Remembrance poppy, Paul Henderson’s 1972 Summit winning goal, and special dragon and lion sculptures from China.
The Gatineau exhibit is open from July 1 to October 15, 2017.
