“Heading for Radium” Life-size bighorn monument donated to B.C. town by Rick Taylor

Radium Hotsprings is located in the heart of the British Columbia Rocky Mountains.  The theme of the town is “Bighorn in our Backyard” as wild bighorn sheep winter all around the valley bottom including their backyards.  With this in mind, a monument was commissioned by the town to commemorate this theme.  The monument’s purpose is to raise awareness about the presence of these animals and the challenges presented to them as they live in such close proximity with people.  This cast bronze original monument now greets visitors to the tourist centre in the heart of town and with interpretive plaques it outlines the life of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep and recognizes the sponsors who funded this project.
