About
A statue of the knight Sir Galahad honouring Henry Albert Harper, who drowned in 1901 trying to rescue a young woman who had fallen through the ice of the Ottawa River. His close friend, future prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, led the project to remember him. It stands beside the gate to Parliament Hill near Wellington and Metcalfe streets and is free to see at any time.
