A sculpture of honour

A sculpture of honour
Halifax, Nova Scotia: Outside the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21

The life size bronze sculpture shows a smiling Ruth Goldbloom seated on a bench, surrounded by immigrants'suitcases, with her beloved tap shoes sitting at her feet. The sculpture, created by Newfoundland artist Morgan MacDonald, is located near the entrance to the museum. Visitors will be invited to sit beside Ruth, whose legacy was that she talked to anyone and everyone who entered the museum that she created to honour the 1.5 million immigrants who entered Canada through the Port of Halifax’s Pier 21 from 1928 to 1971.

HBM, enjoy the week.

I've lived in Canada all my life without knowing about this, Herb, so thanks for keeping me informed about my country. A fine capture, too -- sculpture often defeats me.
