He was an integral part of Calgarians’ childhoods for three decades, and a new petition wants Buck Shot to be honoured with a new statue.

Ron Barge, aka Buck Shot, was the host of the longest-running children’s television show in Canadian history, gracing screens along with his pal Jim Lewis, aka Benny the Bear, from 1967 to 1997.

There were just over 360 signatures as of 8 a.m. Tuesday, but Karen Durrie who created the petition is hoping for 10,000.

Along with a monument to the Calgary icon, she’s hoping a park might be named after Barge.
