A design competition was held in Regina in 1925 for the
construction of the cenotaph to honour Regina's fallen
heroes of World War I. The winner was R.W.G. Heugen
(Montreal), assisted by renowned local architect Francis H.
Portnall. The cenotaph replaced the fountain that honored
Nicholas Flood Davin, which had stood in Victoria Park
since 1908. The Cenotaph was unveiled on November 11,
1926. The inscription reads "To the Glory of God and the
immortal memory of the citizens of Regina who gave their
lives in the Great War, 1914 -1919 ". A rededication was held
in 1990 to honor those Regina citizens who served in World
War II and the Korean War and inscription was added to the
monument.

A harmonious integration of art within a natural setting,
Antsee represents a socially oriented province. For the
artist, ants are a highly social and co- operative species,
and are a metaphor for a productive community. Victoria
Park is a core community meeting place, which makes the
work ideally suited to the space.

Rusty was named by grade 3 and 4 students at Rosemont
School in 1983. He was originally only meant to be a
temporary display in front of the Regina Public Library as
a part of artist Russell Yurisity's exhibition of photographs
and drawings at the Dunlop Art Gallery. Rusty was so
loved that the Library bought him and that became his
permanent home. Artist Russell Yurisity spent 2 years
constructing Rusty. Yurisity was born in Goodeve,
Saskatchewan and developed his skills as a carpenter and
craftsman early on in his life, on the farm. Most of
Yurisity's sculptures can be found in playgrounds, which is
why he considers kids his most important critics.
