Belated upload, because I really hope to eventually catch up with the photos I took each day but didn't manage to post!
This is a statue in my favourite square of the city, Queen's Square. It is just outside of the Queen's Square branch of our local library/gallery system, and just across from the cenotaph. It's known as the Jenny Wren Statue, and a plaque on its base says:
To honour the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service, and to express thanks to the city of Galt, where they received their basic training.
1942-1946
When the Royal Canadian Navy celebrated their centennial in 2010 they held a ceremony around this statue and planted the garden around her base with a new kind of rose developed for the occasion, called AC Navy Lady. Maybe sometime I'll be able to get a shot while the roses are in bloom!
