The Three Wise Men riding camels are hoisted on top of the Canada Life building on Osborne Street .

The long-standing holiday tradition started in 1973 when the company, formerly known as Great-West Life Assurance Co. , first displayed the more than four -metre tall statues.

Artist Suzanne Gauthier , 76 , said she didn't expect the statues to survive this long.

Canada Life said it hears from people every year who say they evoke fond memories of childhood.
