For the annual Ice On Whyte festival on Whyte Avenue, SONiC once again asked our listeners to come up with ideas for what they’d like to see carved out of ice. We received so many entries, but one entry was chosen as the winner above all.

 

SONiC Boy Clayton Dorcas submitted this idea: A bust of Gord Downie with his hat, and a quote – “I have no illusions of the future. Or maybe it’s all illusion. I don’t know. I’ve always been ready for it.” — Gord Downie.

 

You can see the sculpture this weekend at Ice On Whyte until Sunday at 7pm, when it’s lit on fire as part of the closing ceremonies.

 

Take a quick peek at it here:
