If you watched the closing ceremonies at the Vancouver Olympics last month, you will recognize Waterloo Region’s newest resident.
A giant inflatable beaver used in those ceremonies has been purchased by the Kitchener Lion’s Club.
Lion’s Club member Jack Bishop tells 570 News the beaver is about 16 feet tall and 10 feet wide.
It will join the other inflatables they feature in the Santa Claus and Oktoberfest Parade.
The beaver had its’ coming out party Monday night, inflated for the first time locally at a Lion’s Club meeting.
They’re also planning a bigger event to show it off before it hits the parade route.
