Who will win a bucket list trip to experience Canada's Wildlife and Wilderness?
The City of Wolverhampton is embarking on its "Wolves in Wolves!" campaign this summer. Starting in late May some 30 fibreglass wolves are due to be painted by local celebrities with two of them being painted by Canadian artists, coming from Thompson, Manitoba.
Thompson has an unknown number of wolves in the surrounding boreal forest. As wolves seldom bother anyone in this region and are not considered a threat, Thompson has become the Wolf Capital of the World and is drawing researchers and eco tourists each year to learn about this elusive, intelligent, yet maligned , apex predator in Manitoba's forests. Thompson is linked by train to Churchill, Manitoba,famous as the Polar Bear capital of the word.
The Canadian artists will display their finished wolf statues at Charing Cross Station for the month of June . Anyone seeing that statue can watch a short promotional video about Manitoba and enter a draw to win an amazing 12 day trip to northern Canada. The statues then return to Wolverhamption and be part of the 30 strong pack until September.
