In time for Canada Day, this structure that is an ideal inducement for visitors to take “selfies” was erected at Ministik Beach in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the country.
As a Canada 150 initiative, each provincial park was asked to develop a “photo frame,” Erin Saunders, park manager, said last week, explaining that the staff at Duck Mountain Provincial Park had decided to create a structure on the pattern of the Canadian flag, using birch bark.
Maintenance staff stripped the bark from pieces of the cord wood that had been cut for burning, using both, the light and dark sides of the bark to simulate the flag on the six-foot by 12-foot object.
Space has been made on one side so that visitors may sign their names, Saunders said, adding that the project has been “very well executed.”
