Queen Elizabeth Way Monument, Art Deco monument at Sir Casimir Gzowski Park in Toronto, Canada
The limestone monument features a 12-meter column topped with a crown and displays profiles of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at its base.
The monument commemorates the 1939 royal visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during the tense period before World War II began.
Frances Loring carved an eight-foot lion from Queenston limestone, representing strength and determination during the challenging pre-war period.
Located near Lake Ontario, the monument stands in Sir Casimir Gzowski Park after relocation from its original position near the Queen Elizabeth Way.
Motorists driving past the monument in its original location regularly saluted the stone lion, which became a ritual during their daily commute.
