The Canadian goose stands as a national symbol not just for its widespread presence across the country but for what it represents: resilience, loyalty, natural beauty, and a deeper connection to the environment. These birds mirror Canadians' values and aspirations, embodying Canada's spirit. 

"As a teen, just before the start of school, my sister and I would go to the Eaton Centre in Toronto to shop for jeans. Then, I fell in love with Michael Snow's 1979 installation entitled: FLIGHT STOP. 60 life-sized geese flying in the Galleria's skylight. It's brilliant!"

"I have often drawn, painted, photographed, and sculpted this Canadian ICON. The birds have inspired me in so many ways"
