Results: Oddest Landmarks in Canada (Part Two)

Newfoundland and Labrador - In 1878, fishermen working near Glovers Harbour (then called Thimble Tickle Bay) pulled in a massive 55-foot long giant squid. Since then, the catch has been recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest squid, earned a 2011 Canada Post stamp and a life-sized steel and concrete statue. Have you ever visited this squid?

Northwest Territories - A shaggy statue named Elon Muskox resides in Yellowknife. Rebecca Alty, the mayor of Yellowknife, explained that Elon, the muskox not the man, will require grooming from city staff. His hair is made of grass, and his face, moss, so it should, in theory, grow and require trimming. While the city received 300 submissions to name the sculpture, Elon Muskox was the most popular with residents when they voted. Have you ever visited Elon Muskox?

Nova Scotia - Visit the Port of Sydney and you can't miss the 60-foot fiddle and bow sitting just outside the building. And since Cape Breton is known for its longstanding Celtic culture, a fiddle is the perfect icon to feature. It also plays songs by Kinnon Beaton, a local musician. Have you ever visited this fiddle?

Nunavut - This giant, igloo-shaped dome and point steeple was originally built in 1972, and attracted church goers and looky-loos alike. Designed by Ronald Thom and built entirely by volunteers, St. Jude's inside was more stunning than the outside, with a baptismal carved out of soapstone, ornate wall hangings, many examples of Inuit craftsmanship, and a cross made out of the tusks of the majestic narwhal. Apparently not everyone was a fan of the igloo church and the building was destroyed in 2005 by an arsonist. Demolished a year later, it took until 2012 to raise the $6 million required to resurrect this place of worship. Have you ever visited this church?

Ontario - I apologize in advance if you have arachnophobia. Maman (a familiar French word for Mother) is a bronze, stainless steel, and marble sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture, which depicts a spider, is among the world's largest, measuring over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide (927 x 891 x 1024 cm). It includes a sac containing 32 marble eggs and its abdomen and thorax are made of ribbed bronze. It is one of six such spiders built by the acclaimed artist who was 95 at the time of their design.
