Sculptors Don & Shirley Begg created this bronze statue of a woman feeding chickens as a tribute to prairie farm women. The original statue, "Egg Money", is in Fish Creek Provincial Park, Calgary, Alberta. It includes the figures of a boy and a girl. This statue, and a second one in Saskatoon, are based on Egg Money.
Names are impressed into the base of the statue.
The nearby plaque reads:
THE COCHRANE LEGACY STATUE
A Project of the Cochrane Centennial Celebrations Society
Unveiled June 17, 2003
On the occasion of Cochrane's 100th Birthday
A tribute to the women of character and perseverance who have built and nurtured the social fabric of our community. Those whose names are inscribed in the base have been so honored by the contributions of their families and friends. They represent generations of women whose hard work laid the foundation for the life of this community.
The project was also made possible by the contributions of the Cochrane and District Community Foundation, Fred Whittle, and the Cochrane Rotary Club.
