Queen Elizabeth Way Monument, Art Deco monument at Sir Casimir Gzowski Park in Toronto, Canada

The Queen Elizabeth Way Monument is an Art Deco stone monument in Sir Casimir Gzowski Park, Toronto. It consists of a column with a crown at the top on a base; the base bears a bas-relief with profiles of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and a stone lion stands in front. The lion, carved from Queenston limestone, is eight feet high.

The monument was dedicated on June 7, 1939, by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their royal tour of Canada, as a decorative marker for the Toronto entrance to the Queen Elizabeth Way. In 1972 the Ontario government announced an eight-lane widening of the QEW at the Humber River, requiring its removal; after a proposed site at Ontario Place drew public criticism, it was moved in August 1975 to Sir Casimir Gzowski Park. It was re-dedicated in 1989 by Queen Elizabeth, then Queen Mother.

The monument's nickname, the Loring Lion, comes from sculptor Frances Loring, who carved the eight-foot lion herself from Queenston limestone in late 1940. She dismissed her hired carver after he made unauthorized changes and finished the work by hand. Florence Wyle modelled the royal profiles and the crown.

The monument stands on the east side of the Humber River in Sir Casimir Gzowski Park, along Lake Ontario. It was moved here in August 1975 when the QEW was widened to eight lanes at the Humber. The park is open to walkers; the lion and royal profiles face the base at ground level, so they can be examined up close.

The lion was carved by Frances Loring from Queenston limestone after she dismissed her hired carver for making unauthorized changes and finished the work herself in late 1940. The monument cost CA$23,000 and was moved in August 1975 to Sir Casimir Gzowski Park when the QEW was widened to eight lanes at the Humber River.
