Odd to give a fountain or statue a lower than stellar rating but there are some things that make this an OK landmark, but certainly not my fave. I’ve realized since beginning my search for odd landmarks to review that I am a little bit of a history nerd and while this statue appears to have some significance(the effigies of what appears to be one man rescuing another) it’s not outlined on an plaque anywhere near by. The fountain is surrounded by well kept gardens and with adequate seating surrounding it, I can see how this would be a serene place to relax on a summer day. That being said the fountain itself appears to be in ill repair, chipping paint along the railing and the water appears to be a touch murky. I believe I read online that this statue/fountain was erected in honor of immigrants who moved to Canada to work in trades and labour, but ill update this review once my sleuthing turns up something concrete. Something certainly to see in Vaughan of you’re driving past in hwy 7 but for my time a little more history and upkeep would make this perfect. — — — — — — — — — - Historical background: I told you I would sleuth out the truth on this memorial. It does have a name(which I have since changed in the business listing to reflect it accordingly). Italian Workers Memorial «The Memorial, located in front of the Woodbridge Pool and Memorial Arena in Vaughan dedicated to all Canadian workers of Italian descent who perished or were injured in work related accidents. The Memorial committee commissioned a statue to Giovanni Fanton, a local artist of Italian descent who chose a highly defined realistic style to represent the theme. Our task was to design an installation that would provide both a base and an architectural setting around the statue to emphasize its social and symbolic values. For this reason the statue has been installed on a platform surrounded by a series of concrete pillars resembling a bridge collapsing under construction, with precast concrete pieces piled over a shallow pool. Water cascades from behind the statue to the pool, evoking the falling movement of debris. A small Piazza-like structure, elevated from the surrounding area, with seating for public events and recreation crowns the statue, its pedestal and the pool area» — - — Taken from Nino Rico Inc Architect webpage
