Statue of Jack Layton on a tandem bicycle

There will be an unveiling of a bronze statue of the late Jack Layton on the Toronto waterfront Thursday, August 22, 2013. It will portray the former NDP leader in life size on the back seat of a tandem bicycle. Those inclined may sit on the front seat and have their photos taken with the statue. The statue is a gift from the Ontario Labour Federation and coincides with the city’s renaming of the Toronto Island Ferry Terminal as the “Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.”
