Spirit Way hosted a ceremony yesterday afternoon to unveil a special gift from the City of Wolverhampton, England.

The gift in question was a wolf statue, called “Beanstalk” by artist Navkiran Klare, which was a part of a public art exhibition called “Wolves in Wolves” in the English city in 2017, akin to the Spirit Way Wolves scattered around Thompson.

Two of the 30 wolf statues were painted by local artist Jasyn Lucas, which were sponsored by Spirit Way and Travel Manitoba.

Deputy Mayor Les Ellsworth and City Councillor Duncan Wong unveiled the wolf statue at the ceremony, which was held at the airport.

The Wolverhampton wolf statue will be displayed in the new airport terminal, which is set to begin construction this spring.
