Location: Guild Park
Date photo taken: 15 March 2020
The Guild Park & Gardens in Scarborough is littered with wonders but this roughly life-sized carving of a brown bear was a stand-out for me. Apparently it's also very popular with children who are not discouraged from climbing on it. The bear is the work of E.B. Cox, with help from Michael Clay. Cox was a Toronto based sculptor who worked primarily in stone and who is credited with having more sculptures on public display in the city than any other artist. This particular piece was commissioned in 1979 by Spencer Clark who used to own the property on which the park now sits.
