Toronto Inukshuk

Highlight • Monument

Standing 30 feet tall with a 15-foot arm span, the Toronto Inukshuk was built from about 50 tonnes of mountain rose granite by Inuit artist Kellypalik Qimirpik of Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Created in 2002 as a legacy project commemorating World Youth Day and the visit of Pope John Paul II, it’s one of the largest structures of its kind in North America. Sitting just west of Coronation Park in what’s now known as Toronto Inukshuk Park, it looks out across Lake Ontario and the harbour. There is a granite slab beside it that includes part of then-mayor Mel Lastman’s unveiling speech, describing the Inukshuk as an invitation to “become beacons of light and hope, striving for justice and peace in this world.”
