Entrance feature: poppy sculpture
As described by the creator of this piece, artist blacksmith Kyle Thornley of Revelstoke, B.C., this sculpture "honours the enduring symbol of the poppy — an emblem of remembrance, resilience and peace. Inspired by the natural grace and strength of the flower, each element has been carefully hand-forged to reflect both its delicate beauty and powerful meaning. Created in memory of all who have served (and inspired by the artist's grandfather, a Second World War veteran who never missed a Remembrance Day) this work invites reflection on the cost of war, the fragility of life, and the enduring hope for peace."
