Sculptor Plans Bronze Casting of 'Dude Chilling' Sculpture

community · Vancouver’s Guelph Park

Michael Dennis, the creator of the 'Dude Chilling' sculpture in Vancouver’s Guelph Park, plans to cast a bronze replica to preserve the piece, which has deteriorated due to weather and ground contact. The project is estimated to cost $60,000, with half the funds committed from the Christopher Foundation.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
