Awards & Recognition
Heritage Park Logger
The statue of the logger was unveiled and dedicated at Heritage Day on August 17th, 2002 and is located in the southeast corner of the Heritage Park. It was built by Joe Dombowsky with support from the IWA Canada Local 1-184 and Weyerhaeuser.
The idea came to Dombowsky at Thanksgiving as all the members of his family gather for supper and take turns to say what they are thankful for. It occurred to him that much of what he enjoyed is due to the efforts of his parents, grandparents, and those people who have gone before him. Their struggles, sacrifices and perseverance made our country what it is today. He began to make plans to build a monument to the pioneers which would consist of a time capsule and a logging statue.
The life size logger is holding a double-bitten axe. He represents not only the forestry workers but all those responsible for clearing the farmland and building the dove-tail log cabins.
The Statue was built in Moose Jaw by Dombowsky and his son Adam. Town Foreman, Murray Paulson removed the grass & K & S Concrete poured the base. The center of the stone face base came from local farmer’s rock piles and serves as the time capsule. Dombowsky noted it is neat to think that many of the rocks that were used in the project are likely rocks that early pioneers picked as the cleared and cultivated the land.
The time capsule was filled on Thanksgiving Day, October 14, 2002 and is to be opened on Thanksgiving Day 2050.
Millennium Moose
The Millennium Moose was constructed in 2000 by Peter Palko, Bill Gudjonson, and Troy Guderyan with sponsorship by the Town of Hudson Bay, Weyerhaeuser Saskatchewan Limited, and The Millennium Partnership Program Ltd.
The moose, which is very close to actual size, was built in a shop northwest of Hudson Bay. A full-sized pattern was cut out of thin board, from which Guderyan built the steel skeleton. Square tube steel and some flat iron were used. Two-by-six cedar was then glued and screwed onto the frame. Band and chain saws, waterproof glue and screws were used in the construction.
Guderyan welded and shaped the horns using a set of real ones as a pattern. A tourist mistook them for the real thing, which the artists accept as a great compliment.
The finished project is estimated to weigh approximately 1,000 pounds and took about four months to complete.
The plaque on the base reads: Millennium Moose sculpted by Peter Palko, Bill Gudjonson, and Troy Guderyan. Funded by the Town of Hudson Bay, Weyerhaeuser, Canada Millennium Partnership Program. Dated: August 20, 2000.
