Rod Charlesworth and David Langevin - 'Eagles in the City'
Every winter from November to February literally thousands of Bald Eagles arrive to migrate on the West Coast of British Columbia to feast on salmon on the banks of our rivers and tributaries. The Bald Eagle makes a statement of strength, striking appearance, grace and personifies freedom.
With this in mind the Bald Eagle will now migrate onto the streets of Vancouver, Vancouver Island and beyond to complete the trilogy of public arts projects by the BC Lions Society. The first being the Orca coming out of the Pacific Ocean, then the Spirit Bear coming out of the forests of Northern BC and now the Bald Eagle soaring through the skies of the West Coast from April 2009 to April 2010 in support of the BC Lions Society's Easter Seal Services.
To introduce this exhibit the BC Lions Society will be holding exciting kick-off events in participating cities, where the finished Eagles will be presented to the media, the public, invited guests and public officials.
The exhibit will end with the great Eagle Gala and Auction, where the Eagle will be put on the block and auctioned to the highest bidder. A select number of Eagles will be auctioned live while the remaining Eagles will be auctioned online. Eagle auction proceeds will benefit the BC Lions Society's Easter Seal Services.
