The Sharks are chasing a salmon to honour Coquitlam's 125th year.

The Coquitlam swim club will sponsor the salmon sculpture at Mundy Park, a $5,000 public art project handpainted by April Lacheur.

Club donors and members of the public can contribute online via: coquitlamsharks.org/salmon-sculpture-donations.

Of the dozen sculptures commissioned by the city, only two have yet to find sponsors. Both will be located at Mackin Park and are created by artists Wilfrido Limvalencia and Jolayne Devente.
