With Doug’s vision, and May’s and John’s generosity , a lounge for older kids was established at the Children’s Hospital. This relief sculpture , as well as other inspirational artwort, was provided to make this lounge an inspiring place. “The Winners Circle” depicts Doug in the centre, with his cousins, involved in one of the board games he was so skilled at. It is an edition of four, of which one hangs in the Foothills Composite High School (where Carole used to teach), one hangs in the Resource Centre of the Burnaby College in Vancouver, and one is in the private collection of the patron.
