Vandalized World Cup Beaver in Toronto | Ottawa News
Description
A U.S.-themed beaver statue in Toronto—part of a World Cup art installation celebrating global cultures—was vandalized over the weekend, sparking outrage and threats against the artist. The four-foot-tall sculpture, adorned with American symbols including the Statue of Liberty and a raised Black fist, was one of 51 unique beaver statues placed around the city to welcome tourists and support local businesses. While police investigate, the incident highlights the risks of public art and has drawn condemnation from the U.S. Ambassador. Despite the damage, the scavenger hunt continues until August 16, aiming to unite communities and spotlight local creativity.
