Little Glenn, Bronze sculpture in downtown Toronto, Canada.
Little Glenn depicts a young working-class boy pulling a large stone obelisk with the phrase 'To serve and protect' carved into its surface.
Created by artist Eldon Garnet in 1988, the sculpture was commissioned as part of a trio of human-size artworks surrounding the Metro Toronto Police Headquarters.
The artwork reflects Garnet's social commentary on law enforcement and community identity, blending tribute with critical perspective on authority figures and civic responsibility.
Located at the intersection of Bay and Grenville streets, the bronze sculpture remains accessible year-round for public viewing in Toronto's downtown core.
The sculpture combines labor symbolism with police mottos, creating a complex dialogue between individual effort and institutional service that challenges traditional commemorative art.
