Eagle - Toronto, Ontario - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Just behind College Park there is a courtyard and a small park. There are two sculptures in the park by Thomas Penney - Eagle and Bear. They both look like they have weathered well.


"Tucked away in a small wooded park behind the College Park building, Bear and Eagle are two large wood carvings by Thomas Penney, installed in 1983. Conflicting sources indicate that the carvings are either cedar or white oak.

Supposedly, the original plan was for a family of bears (male, female and baby) to dwell in this space with the eagle, but only a male and a female bear were installed.

The female bear went missing around 2000, about the same time that the annual Spring bear hunt was banned in Ontario. Coincidence?"
