Talk:Little Norway Park

Untitled

Hello, I recommend leaving this page. It does require some expansion though. This park is significant because of the following: 1) It was the site of a World War II training base, used by the Norwegian Air Force 2) The totem pole is very unique. There are very few of them in Toronto and the totem pole is a very Native American, and thereby Canadian, representation of culture, art, and history. This totem pole is called, "The Dreamwork of the Whales" and was conceived and produced by the Ne Chi Zu Works, a group of Toronto-born artists living in Vancouver. The group retained artist Georganna Malloff to create the conceptual design. Five months of organizing and fundraising followed before a 700-year-old tree was chosen on a forestry site near Squamish, British Columbia. Among the earliest donors was the logging camp that donated the tree and the City of Vancouver, which was persuaded to provide a grant for a work of art destined for downtown Toronto! The log travelled on a flatbed by train to Toronto and found what was expected to be a temporary home in the open expanse of green at the foot of Bathurst Street in the spring of 1980. In-kind donors ranged from Kodak (supplying film to document the process), to a concrete manufacturer located nearby, a crane company that assisted in raising the finished work, and Esso which donated a specialty oil used to coat the sculpture. The City of Toronto assisted with a grant and permitted the site to be used by the sculptors for the 5-month span of actual carving work.
