University College of the North (UCN) had the vision to have a work of art embodying the Seven Sacred Teachings on the grounds of their campuses. The sculpture will serve as a place for people to gather.
“UCN worked with architect Ted Maciurzynski to create the sculpture,” said UCN Communications and Events Coordinator Jackie Rechenmacher. “The sculptures focus on creating culturally appropriate gathering spaces at the two main campuses in The Pas and Thompson.
“Each sculpture features the importance of the Seven Sacred Teachings: Wisdom, Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Humility and Truth that guide UCN’s vision of building better futures for a stronger north. The sculpture is the focus of the gathering space, featuring seven pieces of varying sizes of stainless steel that curve inward at the top.
