The amazing thing about this giant egg is that it rotates in the wind! The story behind it’s creation starts with the 1974 centennial celebrations of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Communities were given money to build monuments and the Ukrainian town of Vegreville chose their traditional egg, symbolizing the peace and security the Mounties had offered the area’s pioneers and their descendants.

The egg is located in the Elks/Kinsmen Park which also has a little campground and a pretty park with a small lake. The parking area is large enough for RVs. Campground
This is awesome! There are so many "world's largests" in Canada which we have to add to our list!
