BC Lions “Eagles in the City”

Local artists, in partnership will create a unique design and apply it to the surface of a 7 ½ foot custom formed fibreglass Bald Eagle. The Bald Eagle becomes the artist's canvas. Once the work is complete, the Bald Eagle will be displayed in prominent public spaces around the participating cities. Rio Tinto Alcan, a project sponsor, purchased an Eagle and is on display in Vancouver. Project proceeds benefited the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and the Canucks for Kids Fund.
