WHAT YOU'D NEVER EXPECT A BEAR TO WEAR (and OTHER IRONIC OUTFITS) is a unique public art project intended to surprise, delight and connect in a low-tech way.  Written by Ottawa-based poet, Jay Brazeau each poem is artfully illustrated by the multi-talented, Juno award-winning Meaghan Smith, printed and dropped in any number of parks in the neighborhoods of Hintonburg and Wellington Village.
