Yes, you read that headline correctly — a statue of an injured elephant hanging out in a bathtub could soon grace a major Toronto intersection. And while you absorb that very absurd sequence of words, let me assure you, I can explain everything. And if that wasn't convincing enough, landscape plans from CCxA — the same design firm behind Toronto's iconic Berczy Park dog fountain and forthcoming cat-themed park off King West — elaborate on the elephant sculpture plans with additional images of the project's planned corner plaza. If a statue of an injured animal seems completely out of left field, you may be surprised to learn that this would not stand as the first such installation in the city. Toronto already has a statue of a donkey wearing casts on its front legs, installed as the public art component of a condominium development at Bay and St Mary streets.
