Phallic snow sculpture turns heads on trail

Local artist, Doug Taylor's snow sculpture spurs discussion, not complaints

It sticks out from the wholesome snow sculptures along the River Landing trail like a . . . well, giant penis.


... rumour has it it is actually a Mushroom...

The River Landing roundabout located at the base of the Traffic Bridge ( Spadina Crescent & 3rd Avenue South ) is the home of a Saskatoon centennial snow sculpture. Meewasin is managing the project with funding support from the City of Saskatoon , Whitecap Dakota First Nations, Allan Construction Co. Ltd., and The Partnership.

Internationally acclaimed local artist Patricia Leguen worked on some sculptures the week of January 30th. Although this sculpture is seasonal, the roundabout will provide future opportunities for artistic interpretation of the heritage resources of Saskatoon. The roundabout is a gateway to River Landing reinforcing the transition from vehicle to pedestrian traffic as one enters the site.
