About
A bronze soldier raising his hat on a stone pedestal, honouring Canadian volunteers who died in the South African (Boer) War of 1899 to 1902. Thirty thousand schoolchildren donated pennies to pay for it, a nice story to share on a downtown walk. It stands in Confederation Park and can be seen outdoors at any time. Free to visit.
