Winnie the Pooh statue in White River, Bronze monument in White River, Canada
The bronze statue shows Winnie the Pooh sitting in a tree with a pot of honey, near the Visitor Information Centre along Highway 17.
In 1914, Lieutenant Harry Colebourn purchased a black bear cub in White River and named her Winnie, later donating her to the London Zoo.
The statue commemorates the real bear that inspired A.A. Milne to create the Winnie the Pooh stories after his son Christopher Robin met her at London Zoo.
Visitors can access the statue and surrounding park throughout the year, with dedicated parking spaces and picnic areas available for families.
The statue marks the birthplace of the original Winnie the Pooh story, connecting a small Canadian town to a worldwide literary phenomenon.
