WINNIPEG -- A woman in St. Vital is getting a lot of attention for the big white creatures that have taken up residence in front of her home. Vinora Bennett's talent for snow sculpture and all the time she has on her hands right now have transformed her yard on Barrington Ave. into something of a mini-Churchill, the community famous for its polar bears. Her sculpted polar bears are frozen in a variety of poses, including some catching fish, some climbing trees, and some just hanging out.

The positive reaction from her neighbours encouraged her to keep building.
