Bears are a local creature. In local First Nations mythology they are symbols of strength and are a link between the natural and supernatural realms. In mediaeval bestiaries, bears were said to give shape to their own young, and therefore bears can represent the forming of the young, a metaphor for education. The wings refer to the idea of aspiration and can allude to ravens, another local creature immortalized in First Nations mythology and associated with intelligence and creativity. The rocky base refers to the nearby Coast Mountains that are such a dramatic aspect of the local landscape. | Bears are a local creature.
