About this work

This bronze was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Agriculture Exhibition (1886 – 1986) and is dedicated to Alberta farm families.

A land pioneered with strength and shaped with determination where the boundaries of doubt and inexperience have been overcome. A new family ponders their work as the warmth of achievement washes over them. A moment in time framed as a part of our heritage.

Within the base is a time capsule to be open in 2086. It contains memorabilia from the 1986 Calgary Stampede.
