a statue of a Kermode bear (or 'Spirit Bear' according to local environmental activists)...one of 200 such art works that were stationed around the city for half a year, then auctioned off to raise money for disabled children, and to support Canuck Place, a hospice for seriously-ill kids...this one, adorned with impressions of Madrone (Arbutus) trees, was discovered at the obscure end of a quiet west-side street..
