Chetwynd is home to beautiful handcrafted chainsaw sculptures of indigenous animals and local scenes that can be found throughout town and businesses and homes.

Use this map of the chainsaw sculpture locations to stroll around for photo opportunities with these sculptures. This is your chance to get up close and personal with a Grizzlybear!InquireattheVisitorCentre (i) about a sculpture of your own and you will be taking a little bit of Chetwynd home with you.

The chainsaw carving project began as part of the Rendezvous ’92 Committee, which was created to help with celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the construction of the Alaska (Alcan) highway. The Chetwynd Rendezvous ‘92 Committee wished to leave a lasting legacy of the community’s participation in the special event to celebrate this milestone of the Alaska Highway.

On December 31, 1990, a meeting of major businesses and community groups was called to discuss the idea of commissioning three bears which form part of the Welcome to Chetwynd sign display. Unanimous approval was given to commission the bear sculptures from master carver, Terry McKinnon.

Since completion of the bear scene, businesses, residents and fundraising efforts of the committee have supported the project. In the first year, the Rendezvous ’92 committee held 42 different fundraisers to raise the money to bring the first carvings into town. Some of these fundraisers included baking cookies, hosting dances, and events centered around a visit to town by the first woman in space.

In 2005 Chetwynd hosted the first annual Chetwynd International Chainsaw Carving Championship, hosting seven carvers from B.C. and the United States. In 2006, the number of carvers attending

increased to twelve carvers from all across North America. Chetwynd is now drawing international attention with carvers coming all the way from places as far as Japan and Wales. Spectators are also traveling to Chetwynd from distances as great as the lower United States.

The carvings themselves are becoming more intricate, with details so fine it is hard to believe that they were created with a chainsaw. Now there are over 120 carvings located in various places around town.

Look forward to the annual Chetwynd International Chainsaw Carving Championship Invitational the 2nd weekend of June every year.
