This stone carved fountain is a public artwork commissioned by Bosa Properties Inc. in collaboration with Durante Kreuk, Landscape Architects. The piece honors the Civic vision of Burnaby of protecting its waterways, and the volunteer stream keepers, young and old, who care for Byrne Creek.

George Pratt (1939-present) is a professional sculptor in stone practising in British Columbia, Canada. He has lived in most areas of Canada including the arctic. Eventually settling in Toronto, he was there introduced to the stone-carving arts under E.B. Cox in 1970. He moved to Vancouver in 1975. Pratt’s works are carved in granite, marble, jade and other exotic ornamental stones of Canada. His work is widely collected in North America by private individuals and corporations.
