Grizzly Bear Prints - Hinton, Alberta - Petrosomatoglyphs on Waymarking.com

"Most adult female grizzlies weigh 130–200 kg (290–440 lb), while adult males weigh on average 180–360 kg (400–790 lb). The average total length in this subspecies is 198 cm (6.50 ft), with an average shoulder height of 102 cm (3.35 ft) and hindfoot length of 28 cm (11 in).[4] Newborn bears may weigh less than 500 grams (1.1 lb). In the Yukon River area, mature female grizzlies can weigh as little as 100 kg (220 lb). On the other hand, an occasional huge male grizzly has been recorded which greatly exceeds ordinary size, with weights reported up to 680 kg (1,500 lb).[5] Although variable from blond to nearly black, grizzly bear fur is typically brown in color with white tips.[6] A pronounced hump appears on their shoulders; the hump is a good way to distinguish a black bear from a grizzly bear, as black bears do not have this hump."

The building was designed with sustainability in mind and these animal tracks in the concrete remind residents and guests that are living within a natural and wild environment. Following a fire that destroyed the previous municipal building a new building was required as soon as practical. The town council went to the community for ideas on building design and key architectural features.
