Two bronze deer will serve as a permanent reminder of a former University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) student.
The sculpture is a legacy to River Sidley who passed away in 2014.
The “pair of Deer” artwork was created by Sidley’s father, David who is a sculptor from Rossland. David Sidley donated the artwork as a way of commemorating River’s memory.
“The sculpture is a moving tribute from a parent to his departed son. River felt at home on this campus and we were honoured to choose a prominent location for the work as a reflection of the Sidley family’s embrace of our learning community,” UBC deputy vice-chancellor and Principal Deborah Buszard said.
The deer were installed in the university’s courtyard.
