Well they said that several of these were commissioned by the first professor of sculpting at... a university i cant remember, for expo 67, and then they were given out all across canada. Mac's Togo Salmon put in a bid for one of them stating that it would be a good symbol to have in the centre of studying arts and humanities.
Also, its real name is "Chimeric Figure".
(And it was taken out of commission after engineers painted it/did many other things to it for many years)

They were saying that "chimeric" means dream-like, fantasy-ish, etc...
