A unique piece of art, the Maquette was produced and acquired by Sistership thanks to the collaboration of several funders. The concept began with Heather Webber, a former Sistership president, who drew inspiration from her travels. In 2008, the first installment toward the maquette was made, with support from Wendy McLeish, who coordinated the scale model production. Over 3 years (2008–2010), the maquette and its display came together. Funding for the project was bolstered by a generous $10,000 contribution from the Canadian Cancer Society.

The artist commissioned for the remarkable creation was Brian Cooley, a Canadian sculptor renowned for his work with dinosaur reconstructions, with completed projects displayed at the Royal Tyrell Museum. Notably, Brian was the brother of Brenwyn Cooley, another former Sistership president. His skills were instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

The Maquette is currently on display at YMCA Calgary’s Rocky Ridge location where it encapsulates Sistership’s spirit and resilience in a lasting tribute.
