Northwest Rebellion Monument
The Northwest Rebellion Monument is a memorial installed in Toronto's Queen's Park, in Ontario, Canada.[1]
Description and history
The monument features a 2.1 metres (6.9 ft) tall allegorical figure of peace holding an olive spring in one hand, and a sword in her belt.[2] The statue was cast in bronze and is placed atop a 3.7 metres (12 ft) white granite base.[2] Iron cannonballs are placed on the corners of the plinth, with the names of battles and war dead listed on the memorial.[2] The memorial was sculpted by Walter Seymour Allward, and was the first publicly commissioned work he had completed.[1] Another plaque was later added to the back of the memorial, commemorating a reunion of the conflict's veterans at the site in 1935.[2]
