Discover more about Winston Churchill Statue

The Winston Churchill Statue in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a bronze sculpture honoring the iconic British Prime Minister. Created by sculptor Oscar Nemon, it was unveiled in 1980 in front of the Halifax Memorial Library on Spring Garden Road. The statue portrays Churchill in his characteristic three-piece suit and bow tie, with his hands clasped behind his back and his left foot stepping forward. Weighing 1.5 metric tons and standing 10 feet tall, the statue is a prominent landmark in downtown Halifax. The statue's creation was initiated in 1979 by Leonard Kitz, a former mayor of Halifax, through a fundraising campaign. The statue has stirred debate and controversy, particularly in recent years, leading to public demonstrations and calls for its removal. Nemon, the sculptor, was Jewish and lost much of his family in the Holocaust. He aimed to capture Churchill's strength and resolve in his sculptures. The statue is not just a monument but also a place for reflection on leadership during times of conflict.
