They were just art, and not wearable art. They were part of a collection of interesting installations on a forest walk. Calgary, AB was named after Calgary, Scotland. In addition to the U.S., a large number of Scots also immigrated to Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland. Perhaps Calgary, AB should have been called New Calgary.
If you travel to western MT, you might want to come through Lincoln and visit the sculpture garden being created there. Some fascinating creations! See this link for more info:
Forest Faces
Wow! Without your comment, I would never have guessed their size. Do people actually wear these?
And I was struck by the name of the town…I always thought “Calgary” in AB was a true North American place name…alas not so! :-}

Thanks for the clarification, Larry.

Thanks Kathy. I’d heard of that project before, but didn’t realize they were that far along. I’ll have to check it out one of these days.
