Statue of Émilie Gamelin, Bronze statue at Berri-UQAM metro station, Montreal, Canada
The bronze sculpture depicts Mother Émilie Gamelin carrying a basket of food, representing her commitment to helping the poor in Montreal.
Created in 1999 by Raoul Hunter, this statue marks the bicentenary of Mother Gamelin, who established Les Filles de la Charité in 1841.
The sculpture design follows an 1843 portrait by Vital Desrochers, preserved at the Sisters of Providence motherhouse in Montreal.
Standing at ground level without an elevated base, the 190-centimeter-tall statue allows visitors to observe details of the figure up close.
The statue occupies the exact location where Mother Gamelin's shelter operated until the 1960s, before the metro construction began.
