 Tom Drynan was named Executive Director of the Brampton Public Library system in July 1993 . In August that year , Drynan decided to evict the sculpture , after three years at the entrance of the art gallery at the Brampton Library branch . In a letter to community services commissioner Donald M. Gordon , Drynan wrote : " I am sure that the statue has artistic merit and needs to be preserved . However , it is quite inappropriate in its present location within the newly renovated gallery . Its presence dominates any other exhibits which are placed in the area . I hope we can find a solution without having yet another tempest in a teapot . "
