Statue of Elizabeth II (Winnipeg)

A statue of Elizabeth II by Leo Mol was installed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

The sculpture was originally installed in the Steinkopf Gardens at the Centennial Concert Hall, in downtown Winnipeg.

“Among the many casts done there was a giant nine foot figure of Queen Elizabeth for the City of Winnipeg – an astonishing achievement for a homemade foundry.”[7] In July 2010, Elizabeth II visited Winnipeg to rededicate the statue, which was relocated to the Government House grounds.
