About

It is a 20' high, stainless steel fountain sculpture sited in front of the Vancouver Museum. It was created by Stevie Wilson in 1968 as part of a series of artistic and architectural projects designed to coincide with Vancouver’s centennial celebrations. The significance of the crab symbol is two-fold: it represents the First Nations legend of the crab as a protector of the harbour, and also happened to have been the zodiac sign at the time of the centennial.
