Quench Fountain

A water fountain installed beside city hall in Duncan.

The sculptor is Rande Cook.

"The totem's body is an Aboriginal shaman topped by raven, the trickster in Native lore, who spits water at passersby four times hourly."

"...it was the solemn prayers of Dzawada'enuxw Chief Frank Nelson, then an a cappella song by Cowichan elder Ray Peter, that gave life to Quench's mythical characters."

"Chief Nelson simply saw the fountain of healing water as a way to "meld Native and non-Native cultures." (Cowichan News Leader)
