Canada is situated in the northern part of the continent of North America. It has the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. It is the world's second largest country by area. Both English and French are official languages of Canada. This is indicative of its history as a sought after colony of both English and French powers.
Toronto, is Canada’s most populated city and the country’s financial and commercial center. It is also the capital of the province of Ontario. It is home to the University of Toronto which is a globally well respected post secondary institution.
Toronto is recognized as one of the most multicultural cities in the world bringing together a melting pot of cultures, languages and cuisines. The city is also home to the CN Tower, the tallest tower in the Western Hemisphere.
During the War of 1812, the United States launched an overwhelming ground and naval campaign (via Lake Ontario) on Fort York, which today sits just a few minutes away Downtown Toronto. The ensuing battle is now known as the Battle of York. The war ended with the conclusion of the Treaty of Ghent.
Urban Sketching the Toronto South African War Memorial
If you're on the corner of Queen St. W and University St. in Toronto, you need to take some time to take in the beautiful and relaxing fountain right in front of the South African War Memorial.
Earlier this summer, I organized a sketching event for the Toronto Urban Sketchers so that we can capture some of the scenery. There was a bag piper next the the park and two different wedding parties taking pictures near the Osgoode Hall building next to the memorial. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day to create wonderful sketches. Check out our Facebook page to see more sketches from the group.

Boer War Memorial Toronto Time Lapse
Boer War Memorial Toronto Time Lapse in Toronto on Queen Street West and University Avenue , designed by Walter Seymour Allward commissioned in 1910
War Memorial of the 48th Highlanders in Queen's Park, Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada
48th Highlanders War Monument in Queen's Park, Downtown Toronto, near University of Toronto Campus, Royal Ontario Museum and Ontario Provincial Legislature
Toronto is the biggest city in Canada and the capital of the province of Ontario. The oldest and most densely populated part of the city is Downtown Toronto, which is bordered by Bloor Street in the north, Lake Ontario in the south, Bathurst Street in the west, and the Don River in the east.
Queen's Park is a medium-sized green space in the downtown core, 2 blocks south of Bloor Street. It is close to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), and the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art. The park is shaded by big trees and has a few statues and fountains in it. Queen's Park is almost completely surrounded by the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto- the city's oldest post-secondary institution. The park was opened in 1860 by Edward, Prince of Wales, and was named in honour of Queen Victoria.
Queen's Park is part of larger oval-shaped green space surrounded by a road called Queen's Park Crescent. The park proper occupies the top half of the oval. Wellesley Street, which splits the oval in half, secparates Queen's Park proper from the grounds of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, which occupies the southern half of the oval-shaped area. This is the headquarters of the provincial government of Ontario. I don't think the legislative grounds are technically part of Queen's Park, but the Ontario government building is still often referred to as Queen's Park. So that when people talk about the Ontario legislature, they often talk about Queen's Park.
The monument in this video is at the north end of the park. It's dedicated to the 48th Highlanders, a Toronto-based Canadian infantry regiment. The regiment was formed in 1891 and since then participated in many of Britain and Canada's military conflicts. As its name suggests, the Canadian Highlander regiment is tied to the Highlander regiments of Scotland. The Highlanders fought in the South African War (aka. Boer War) in South Africa (1899-1902). The also saw action in WWI, WWII, and Afghanistan.
You can see the names of various locations where the 48th Highlanders fought inscribed on the sides of the monument- i.e. Afghanistan, South Africa, Sicily, Vimy, Amiens, Somme, Arras, and so on.

The National Anthem Of South Africa (Best Performance)
****Please Subscribe to this Channel*****
****Teken asb op my kanaal**
A proclamation issued by the then State President, Nelson Mandela, on 20 April 1994 in terms of the provisions of Section 248 (1) together with Section 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1993 (Act 200 of 1993), stated that the Republic of South Africa would have two national anthems. They were Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika and The Call of South Africa (Die Stem van Suid-Afrika).
The lyrics employ the five most populous of South Africa's eleven official languages - isiXhosa (first stanza, first two lines), isiZulu (first stanza, last two lines), seSotho (second stanza), Afrikaans (third stanza) and English (final stanza).
Nkosi Sekelel' iAfrika was composed in 1897 by Enoch Sontonga, a Methodist school teacher. It was originally sung as a church hymn but later became an act of political defiance against the apartheid Government. Die Stem van Suid-Afrika/The Call of South Africa was written by C.J. Langenhoven in 1918. Die Stem was the co-national anthem with God Save the King/Queen from 1936 to 1957, when it became the sole national anthem until 1994. The South African Government under Nelson Mandela adopted both songs as national anthems from 1994 until they were merged in 1997 to form the current anthem.

This photo is a group portrait of part of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, in front of an old drill shed, formerly known as the Imperial Opera House. It was taken before departure to South Africa to fight in the Boer War, also known as the South Africa War.
The Boer War started in 1899 when Britain went to war against two small independent Afrikaner republics and parliament passed a resolution that Canada would join the war.
This decision caused a division between English-Canadians and French-Canadians. Most English-Canadians were supportive of parliament’s decision while the French-Canadians, who saw growing British imperialism as a threat to their own survival, sympathized with the Boers. Despite the division, 1000 volunteers were organized into the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment. The war ended with a British victory.
The Boer War is significant to Canadian History because it was Canada’s first foreign war and it also filled a sense that Canada could stand apart from the British Empire.

In his article, The Texture of Memory James Young talks about several things concerning monuments that I felt connected with the monument I documented for my project. One of the things Young talks about is the purpose of monuments. He explains how people inscribe memory and meaning into the monument. Without this inscription, a monument is just stone. He also contends that a monument (most often) guarantees the permanence of a particular idea or memory. So long as the monument is available to be seen, it will carry this idea. Another thing that I believe can be said about most Toronto monuments and monuments in general is that they remain static. The cityscape around it changes, and so do social ideas and norms but the monument, what it stands for, and the idea attached to it remains the same. Young asserts that public memorials...create common loci around which national identity is forged. Looking at some of the iconography used as part of the South African War Memorial, I believe that the statue alludes to the idea and time of Canada as a British colony and Canadians as subjects under the British crown.
Canada National War Memorial The Response Ottawa
The National War Memorial (titled The Response) is a tall, granite memorial arch with accreted bronze sculptures in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, designed by Vernon March and first dedicated by King George VI in 1939. Originally built to commemorate the Canadians who died in the First World War, it was in 1982 rededicated to also include those killed in the Second World War and Korean War and again in 2014 to add the dead from the Second Boer War and War in Afghanistan, as well as all Canadians killed in all conflicts past and future. It now serves as the pre-eminent war memorial[1] of 76 cenotaphs in Canada.[2] In 2000, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was added in front of the memorial and symbolizes the sacrifices made by all Canadians who have died or may yet die for their country. The National War Memorial is the focal point of Confederation Square in Canada's capital city, Ottawa, Ontario. This locates it between Parliament Hill to the west and the Château Laurier hotel to the east. There are several other commemorative buildings and monuments nearby, including the Peace Tower (and the Memorial Chamber) at the parliament buildings, the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument, the Animals in War Memorial, a Boer War memorial, the Peacekeeping Monument,[3] the Valiants Memorial, and the War of 1812 Monument.
The memorial, from grade to the tip of the surmounting statues' wings, is approximately 21.34 m (70 ft), with the arch itself 3.05 m (10 ft) wide, 2.44 m (8 ft) deep, and 8.03 m (26 ft 4 in) high. The lowest step of the pedestal is 15.9 m (52 ft 2 in) by 8.08 m (26 ft 6 in). 503 tonnes of rose-grey Canadian granite from the Dumas Quarry at Rivière-à-Pierre, Quebec,[4] and 32 tonnes of bronze were used, all of which rests on a block of reinforced concrete based on steel columns set into bedrock.[4]
Two 5.33-metre-high (17.5 ft) allegories of peace and freedom stand at the apex of the arch, their proximity to each other representing the inseparability of the two concepts, though, the figure bearing a torch alludes in Roman mythology to Demeter and the winged figure with a laurel depicts Nike, the Greek goddesses of agriculture and victory, respectively.[5] Below are the depictions of 22 Canadian servicemen and women from all branches of the forces and other groups engaged in the First World War. At front, to the left, a Lewis gunner, to the right, a kilted infantryman with a Vickers machine gun. Following these are a pilot in full gear and an air mechanic of the Royal Canadian Air Force, as well as a sailor in the Royal Canadian Navy from HMCS Stadacona. Two mounted figures—a member of the Canadian Cavalry Brigade and a dispatch rider—are emerging from the arch, side by side, followed by two infantry riflemen pressing through the arch and behind them are the men and women of the support services, including two nurses from the Militia Army Medical Corps, a stretcher bearer, and one member each of the Royal Canadian Engineers and the Canadian Forestry Corps. Further, there is one member each of the Canadian Army Service Corps, the Canadian Signals Corps, the Corps of Canadian Railway troops, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, and the Motor Machine Gun Corps. There are three additional infantrymen; all six carry among them respirators other items of the basic load carried by every member of the infantry.
