The 2007 Canada Winter Games Torches Main article: 2007 Canada Games In 2006, Shane was commissioned to create three torches to be used in the pan-Northern Relay prior to the 2007 Canada Winter Games. Each torch was carved from a full cariboo antler, and each was representative of one of the three Canadian Territories. The Great Antler Heist On Saturday, September 15, 2007, Whitehorse, Yukon was hit by the “Great Antler Heist” or “Yukon’s Thomas Crown Affair”, as it was variously dubbed in the national media. . During an unplanned, city-wide power outage at approximately 6:30 am, a thief or thieves broke into the Canada Games Center and stole the giant piece “Yukon Seasons”, carved from a complete moose skull and antler set. It was the only item taken during the brazen robbery. Police have yet to announce any leads in the case. Whitehorse Daily Star article Updates: On April 8, 2008 an anonymous person returned Yukon Seasons to the Whitehorse detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The person was not associated with the theft, according to the RCMP spokesperson. Apart from some discolouration and a broken tine (recovered at the scene of the crime), Yukon Seasons was recovered intact. On December 2, 2008, the restored Yukon Seasons was unveiled to the public in its old home at the Canada Games Centre in Whitehorse, Yukon. Valery Monahan, a conservator with the Yukon Government, performed the restorative work on the sculpture. . Yukon Government Minister for Tourism and Culture, Elaine Taylor and Whitehorse Mayor, Pam Buckway, were on hand for the opening and spoke at the event. Shane Wilson was also in attendance and thanked those who helped with the recovery and restoration of the sculpture..
