Mallard Duck

The Manitoba Historical Society says the monument was created in 1996 by sculptor Wayne Arthur (1943-1999). According to the 2018 feature, a local monument association ran a design contest, a committee eventually selected the St. Andrews-based artist, and he spent more than a year on the piece in his workshop. It describes a steel skeleton covered with many layers of fibreglass, and says the duck was installed in late 1996.

The same feature gives the duck's size as 4.2 metres tall with a wingspan of 7.3 metres, standing on a 3-metre cairn. It is the only source read that gives dimensions, and it does not say whether the height includes the cairn. It also says the monument was rededicated in 2005 to celebrate the community's 100th anniversary, and says a two-acre piece of land off Highway 9 at the foot of the Netley Creek Bridge was donated for the new park.

The Manitoba Historical Society cites two Selkirk Journal articles: "Design our duck", 12 September 1994, and "Petersfield mallard takes to airwaves", 6 January 1997. Interlake Tourism includes the Petersfield duck in its list of Interlake statues.

The pages read give no street address, hours or fees. The Manitoba Historical Society page was last revised on 8 September 2024, but none of the sources read describes the monument's present condition, and the Interlake Tourism listing is undated.
