The Buffalo statue in Wainwright was deemed ‘Canada’s largest buffalo.’ The reason for the statue is to remember the great buffalo herd that roamed Buffalo National Park. The fibreglass statue stands ten feet tall. You can visit the large statue and think back to when there used to be herds of animals around.
