Canada's National War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are here, located on Confederation Square on Wellington Street east of Parliament Hill--the East Block is visible in the right background.
Adjoining the National War Memorial on Confederation Square is the Valiants Memorial, a collection of nine busts and five statues--all life-sized--of key figures from Canada's military history. Laura Secord, heroine of the War of 1812 after her crossing the American lines in the primeval forest to warn the British allowed for a British victory at Battle of Beaver Dams, stands here.
The Château Laurier is easily one of the most iconic hotels in Canada.
The statue of Canadian jazz pianist and composer Oscar Peterson is fun, not only because of the vivacity an the energy of the statue as described by Martin Knelman in the Toronto Star back in 2010, but because the loudspeaker placed above plays his music. It lives.
Guarding the eastern end of the pedestrian mall covering a goodly section of Sparks Street just south of Wellington, the bear in Bruce Garner's 1990 statue "Territorial Prerogative" stands defiantly.
