A new bronze statue of Queen Elizabeth II will soon be installed at the Ontario legislature.
Work has begun on the base of the piece at Queen’s Park, located on the south side of the building in front of the visitor welcome centre. Toronto residents won’t be able to see much yet – as the construction area is being blocked off by a wooden enclosure.
The project has been years in the making. First commissioned in 2016 after receiving the Queen’s approval, the statue is expected to depict the late-monarch at about 150 per cent life size.
