Support the Integracare Moose
Located at the corner of Bayview and Moore Avenues, Integracare has a life-sized moose sculpture named Florence Moosengale on the front lawn. The moose has noteriety in the Leaside neighbourhood for her whimsical attire.
A class of Grade 9 Greenwood artists were tasked with designing and dressing 'Flo' on November 3rd. In October, Lee Grunberg, President and CEO of Integracare, visited the students to discuss the project.
The students decided to create 'an environment' for Flo, figuring that she must be lonely and require some animal friends! Last Friday the students, along with Ms. Petch and Mr. McFarlane, spent the afternoon outdoors creating an installation. Flo now has a large scale foamcore raccoon, deer, owl, fox and bear around her feet. As well, the students incorporated a 7 foot wooden Greenwood tree beside her and dressed her warmly in a green scart, fuzzy boots, floral earmuffs and a shirt. Flo is ready for the winter and will not be lonely.
Thank you to Graham Leishman, father of Annie (Grade 9) and Marshall (Grade 11) for his contribution and help with the project. Thank you also to the Grade 8 art students who assisted with finishing touches on the animals.
