The Bears on Broadway project was a special event program to commemorate the 75th anniversary of CancerCare Manitoba.
The project enlisted an army of construction, technical, and building experts as well as a multitude of artists. Each of the sixty two, seven foot, artistically colored bears has a sponsor and a theme. The whole project is said to haved raise substantial funds for the cause.
The bear statue pictured here in the foreground is titled "Bear Necessities" by Hubert Theroux. It depicts man's basic needs such as shelter represented by the umbrella, food as represented by the salmon, and water represented by the orange juice tetra pak. There is also a tube of sunscreen featured.
