As DNV Parks Manager at the time the sculpture was proposed for Deep Cove I was more than disappointed with the local residents response. The Artists made a great public presentation at the Deep Cove Cultural Centre to the residents and seemed to have won them over after the fact. But the tides had long turned and negative misinformation had made most residents against any form of public art. The nick name: “ The Bong” stuck and there was no way to change their minds. That said, if there had been a better public process involving and engaging the residents to begin win I am sure the Artists would have won the day. The NV Cultural Commission had not used broader public engagement for there Art pieces at that point in time. Sadly, Deep Cove lost out and Princess Park dog walkers got an excellent Art piece.

I have seen some pretty atrocious public sculptures in and around Vancouver. This tree is not one of them! It is beautiful and so well thought out. Silly Deep Cove people! I bet they wish they had it now! Their loss.
