You have probably seen Flo the Moose on Moore Ave. at the Integracare building, just west of the gas station on the corner of Bayview. It’s always in different costumes, ready for a party, thanks in part to Sandra Hyslop, RN and HR manager at Integracare. Philip Russel, managing director there, says, “The ideas, construction methods and finding crazy accessories and materials tend to be a collaborative effort with Sandy, Martha (his wife) and me, but Flo would not be dressed without Sandy. She has been the main driver behind costume sewing.” Flo used to be changed every six weeks or so for the different seasons and celebrations like Halloween and St. Valentine’s Day, but less often now says Russel.
