The frog waterspout statue that has been affixed to The Family fountain in St. George’s Square for more than 30 years went missing earlier this week, but has since been found.
“The frog was dislodged Tuesday and found by bylaw yesterday,” said Zachary Cox, a communications officer with the City of Guelph.
Cox said they are assessing the condition of the frog to determine whether it needs any repairs before being reinstalled.
The frog waterspout is a part of the fountain that has “The Family” sculpture, which was unveiled in 1985. The frog was added to the fountain in 1987 as a gift from the fountain artist, William McElcheran.
“We don't know the full story behind how it was dislodged but are glad to have it back,” he said.
