Public Services Committee recommends adding sculpture to Police Point Park
MEDICINE HAT, AB — A sculpture which was rejected for the Canalta Centre by city council could find a new home in the city.
During Monday’s Public Services Committee meeting, the committee supported a recommendation from the Public Art Committee and the Arts and Heritage Advisory Board to purchase a sculpture named Old Man Buffalo Stone to be used as public art at Police Point Park.
The sculpture, made by Stewart Steinhauer, costs $17,000 ($16,000 for the art, $1,000 for installation). It was originally going to be placed at the Canalta Centre, but it was rejected by council in March.
