Episode Details

Toronto’s giant beaver statues—painted to represent 52 World Cup nations—turned into a viral scavenger hunt called the Great Beaver Quest, drawing over 13,000 participants. The auction netted $170K for charities Toronto’s First Post Office and KidSport Ontario, with Canada’s maple-leaf beaver winning top honors at $10,025. The Scottish beaver came in second at $7,580, while Spain’s statue (World Cup champions) sold for $3,200. Forty-eight statues were painted by artists tied to their countries, echoing Toronto’s past moose art project. Two statues—the Canadian and Old Town Toronto beavers—were excluded from the auction.
