The statues welcome residents and visitors alike to Esplanade Park and enhance the new seating area at the East End of the park. This is the second public art installation in the gathering space. The statues are accompanied by two Ron Baird works entitled Pollinators.

R estrictions have been lifted on select outdoor areas, in accordance with Phase 1 of Ontario's framework for reopening the province.  Read the full release on the City website. 

1. CLEAN Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris.
2. CHECK Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace it is cracked or damaged.
3. TEST Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

• Never leave the BBQ unattended when in use.
• Make sure grease does not build up on the burners or at the base of the BBQ. This could cause a grease fire.
• Never throw water on a grease fire - this will only spread the flame.
• Always position the grill well away from combustible objects - buildings, fences, deck railings and landscaping can easily and quickly ignite.
• Allow the BBQ to cool completely before closing the cover.
