In 2005, "Bears on Broadway" commemorated the 75th Anniversary of CancerCare Manitoba with 62 bears crafted from a concrete blend, weighing 8,000 pounds and standing 7 feet tall.
Since then they have all found permanent homes in various locations mostly in Winnipeg. This is one of 2 bears in Gimli, Manitoba which is about 80 km north of Winnipeg.
