CANstruction

Team: Fluor
Name: oCANpogo
Winner: Best Meal
From the mysterious depths of the popular Lake Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada, comes oCANpogo. oCANpogo is a fierce 15 metre long sea-snake with a body that undulates when it swims in Lake Okanagan. Those who have lived to tell their tale claim it is a prehistoric serpentine creature, with the dragon’s head, sharp teeth and webbed feet.

This is quite a cool project that has groups competing to make sculptures out of cans and then the cans are donated to food banks.  They're on display this week at various places along Georgia and right around where the newly refurbished Rosewood Georgia Hotel is so we'll take a peek in there since we haven't seen the new incarnation yet.
