'It’s so tiny': Norway mayor playfully mocks Saskatchewan moose statue during visit
After holding the record for 31 years, Moose Jaw, Sask.’s Mac lost his title of world’s tallest moose in 2015 to Norway’s silver elk in Stor-Elvdal, Norway. Norway’s statue stands at 10.1 m tall -- just 30 centimetres taller than Mac.
Tolmie agreed and said they even want to acknowledge the Norwegian statue in the official history of Mac the Moose: “We want to recognize both communities.” Two months ago, Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie began a push to fundraise money to upgrade Mac so he could regain his title. “I’m doing this on behalf of Canada. Our pride is on the line here,” he told CTV News channel back in January.But this campaign egged on deputy mayor Henriksen to release a series of videos calling out Moose Jaw’s challenge.
CTV Regina’s Stefanie Davis said engineers were scheduled to come in next week to begin making recommendations as to how to upgrade Mac -- including giving him larger antlers.
