Notre Place Monument
Notre Place Monument, also known as Notre place (English: Our Home), is a monument in Toronto's Queen's Park, in Ontario, Canada. Unveiled in 2018, the monument features a public space and a series of columns.[1]
Description and history
The monument was first proposed in 2015.[2] Work on the monument began on 25 September 2017, on Franco-Ontarian day, and was unveiled on the same day the following year.[2] The stainless steel columns were designed to commemorate Franco-Ontarian contributions in the province's forestry industry, while the surrounding public square was intended to be used as a gathering space.[3] The name of the monument, Notre Place, is a reference to song from Paul Demers and François Dubé.[3] The name of the monument, and the Franco-Ontarian flag is also present on the stoned wall bench that surrounds most of the square.[2] Designed by the architectural firm Brooke McIlroy, the cost to construct the monument was approximate C$900,000.
