CALGARY
Heritage Calgary is putting several historic artifacts up for auction with all bids starting at a dollar and by far the largest items are eight concrete cast bison heads. 
Josh Traptow is the executive director of Heritage Calgary and says while they re not the original 1916 bison heads that adorned the Centre Street Bridge, they are still pieces of art crafted by a local sculptor from a bison that lived at the Calgary Zoo.
They absolutely still have historic value, said Traptow. The intricacy and the detail on these bison heads is amazing and they sat on the bridge from 1983 to 2000. ....
