Common Council has given its okay for the purchase of a 200 thousand dollar work of art called "Shards of Time" to be part of the Saint John 225 celebration. Lisa Hrabluk of the 225 Committee says it will be built along Harbour Passage between Fort LaTour and the Brunswicker.

She says it is mean't to look like a piece of pottery from the Paleo-Indian period from the earliest history of Saint John. Hrabluk says it's hoped people will get the sense of venturing into an archaeological site.

The work is by Peter Powning who will be embedding everyday items of historical interest in the sculpture which the 225 Committee hopes Saint Johnners will donate during a day set aside this fall.
