MONTREAL—Mac the Moose can rest easy. A Quebec town that wants to build its own massive moose statue next year says it doesn’t want to challenge the record for the world’s tallest, recently regained by the famed Moose Jaw, Sask., roadside attraction.

Nicolas Martel, the mayor of Desbiens, Que., told The Canadian Press he wants Mac to be friends with his yet-to-be built Quebec counterpart, which, he added, will provide some insurance against anyone who might try to challenge Canada again for the record.
