Giant Beaver

History of The “Beaver Project”

The “Beaver Project” was initiated by local entrepreneur Alex Lojczyc, who had always dreamed of giving Beaverlodge something to bolster town spirits and encourage tourists to visit our pretty little town. It all began in February, 2004 when the idea took shape. From there, grant applications were submitted and donations were solicited. With the support of all the generous contributors, and the encouragement of Recreation Direct, Randy Boettcher, town office staff and council, the dream became a reality! On July 16th, 2004, the magnificent Beaver Sculpture arrived at its new home right alongside Highway 43 in Beaverlodge, Alberta.
