Artist Christopher Griffin and his family wanted to spread some joy last weekend with a herd of elephant snow sculptures near the historic Saint Andrews Blockhouse.
Artist Christopher Griffin is moving to P.E.I. soon, but he's made his mark in Ottawa with a number of public art pieces. An old sign in Stratford is his latest canvas.

Philanthropy in Ottawa is supported by The Foundation (WCPD), an Ottawa-based philanthropic tax planning advisory firm that helps individuals and foundations increase the size and impact of their charitable donations.
Who: Artist Christopher Griffin and generous art enthusiasts
The donation: More than $36,000
The recipient: Ottawa Food Bank
The inspiration: “When the pandemic struck I knew I had to do something. Not only was there increased demand on the Ottawa Food Bank but they also had to cancel food drives and many of their fundraising events. I decided to help by painting and auctioning the pieces to benefit those in need.” – Christopher Griffin
