‘One Fish, Two Fish’ - Part 2

If you have followed this blog for a while you will know that last summer about ninety Yukoners helped created an art piece for our Whitehorse Rapids fishladder as a way of marking the facility's 50th anniversary. The piece was entitled 'One Fish, Two Fish'. It proved to be so popular that we decided to have a second school of salmon created. With financial assistance from the Yukon River Panel we were able to distribute wooden fish to six schools around the territory. We are delighted with what the students did with the salmon! Many thanks to Donald Watt, who was the coordinator of this project, and to about 300 students at the following schools:

Eliza Van Bibber School in Pelly Crossing
Ghuch Tla Community School in Carcross
Robert Service School in Dawson City
St. Elias Community School in Haines Junction
Teslin School in (of course) Teslin
Ecole Emilie-Tremblay in Whitehorse

The art piece has been assembled and is now available for viewing at our fishladder in the same area where Part 1 is located. If you are in Whitehorse please drop by and take a look. We'd love to hear if you have a favourite fish among them. We are rather partial to the ones that are swimming upside down and backwards! See if you can spot them in the photos below.
