A Sicamous resident grabbed the bear by the tail and succeeded in getting a plaque to recognize the Main Street mascot, Daisy the Bear.

At the April 24 Committee of the Whole meeting, council received a request from Diana Leduc asking that a plaque be made for the bear carving stating the artist91裸聊视频檚 name and date it was made, as well as the school that named it.

91裸聊视频淭he bear91裸聊视频檚 been there for quite awhile, and in 2022 it was named by the children of the District of Sicamous in the election,91裸聊视频� deputy corporate officer Sarah Kyllo said, correcting that it was not done by a school but open to all local kids. 91裸聊视频淚t was a mock election for the kids.91裸聊视频�

It has since become a much loved symbol of Sicamous, with people dressing her according to the season 91裸聊视频� a daisy crown in summer, toque and scarf in winter.

Carved by local chainsaw artist Mike Ormondy, the bear sits out front of the property at 425 Main Street, the site of the new housing development that91裸聊视频檚 expected to get underway this summer. That begged the question of what to do with Daisy during construction.

91裸聊视频淒aisy91裸聊视频檚 pretty nice there, she91裸聊视频檚 spent all her life there. That91裸聊视频檚 actually a tree, the stump and the roots, everything, so I don91裸聊视频檛 know you91裸聊视频檙e going to move Daisy,91裸聊视频� Coun. Malcolm Makayev said. 91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know if we want to go to the expense of putting a plaque there and then poor Daisy gets moved.91裸聊视频�

Mayor Colleen Anderson too looked at the logistics of moving the bear, and the dangers involved.

91裸聊视频淲hat happens if Daisy doesn91裸聊视频檛 move91裸聊视频� what happens if she doesn91裸聊视频檛 make it through the move?91裸聊视频� she asked. 91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 a sad thing, but we need to talk about it.91裸聊视频�

Coun. Gord Bushell, however, pointed out that it could probably be cut down and moved to hibernate somewhere safe during construction, then brought back after completion.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 sure the developer wouldn91裸聊视频檛 mind putting it back as part of the landscape, anchor it in the landscape. And yeah, you could probably get a little plaque91裸聊视频� for Miss Daisy.91裸聊视频�

Makayev said a plaque is a nice idea, but suggested putting a cap on the amount spent. Operations manager estimated it would cost around a couple hundred dollars, so the committee approved having a plaque made with a price cap of $200.
