Present at the unveiling were special guests Michael Wardell, New Brunswick's representative on the Canada Council, and artist Claude Roussel. During his speech at the unveiling ceremony, Wardell describes Rousel's sense of "biculturalism," his strides in the way of cultural harmony, and congratulated Roussel for being the first Acadian to establish a national reputation as an artist. The piece was first installed behind the Old Arts Building but was moved into the Sculpture Garden in 1990.
