Took Gisela, Ron's sister to Terrace today and saw several decorated Kermode bear replicas around town. These bears are unique to the rainforests of northern B.C. and the official mark of the City of Terrace and now, the province as well. When 2 black bears with recessive white genes pass these to their offspring, the result is a white Kermode bear, known as Spirit Bears.
Last fall the B.C. Lion's Society invited anyone to sponsor a bear which are life-sized Kermode replicas, made of fiberglass and weighing about 120 pounds. They were uniquely designed and painted by local artists around the province and auctioned off, raising funds for disabled children. These have natue scenes, forest on the front, a totem pole on the side and native artwork. Clicking them will enlarge them. They are delightful pieces of art.
