Assiniboine Park Zoo is one of the top attractions in Winnipeg. Since opening in 1904, it has grown into 400 acres with exhibits of 1,500 animals representing 150 species. At the entrance plaza is this bronze ensemble called Mother Polar Bear and Cubs. The work was created by Peter Sawatzky. The sculptures were donated in late 2014 by Bob Williams. He was the former chairman of Polar Bears International. Mama bear stands about nine feet.
