One of the legacies from the 100 Mile House Olympic Torch Relay was the creation of the Inukshuk at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre on Highway 97, headed by Judith Halliday of the 100 Mile House Mural Society.
Woodcarving artist Kevin Geurtsen, of Broken Limb Carvings, used local fir, and says it took him about a month of carving to do the Inukshuk.
"We wanted something that depicted the North and also said something about the Cariboo," says Olympic Torch Relay Committee chair, Heidi Read.
"That's why the gold panner and grizzly were chosen to be included in the carving."
The finalization of the legacy funds is the descriptive plaques one for the Inukshuk and the Halcro mural on the front wall of the curling rink.
Bryan Rasmussen, a woodworking artist from the 100 Mile House area, framed the plaques.
"All the plaques are in the weather except for the Halcro Arena," says Halliday. "Bryan will be kept on to do more frames and maintain the ones we have."
The finishing touch for the Inukshuk was the lighting done by WC Electric, and Halliday says that was just completed.
