This Surveyor, the Buffalo Hunter (Craik, SK), Bison (Girvin, SK) and the Ox and Cart (Aylesbury, SK) are tied to this initiative. These particular monuments were created by Don Wilkins and feature ox carts.

The Village also features Prairie Lilies:

Here is what they look like together:

As with the Buffalo Hunter in Craik, SK, the eyes appear to be chrome whereas the body is unprotected steel which looks like it it will be allowed to rust (except the eyes).
