Led by Waterfront Toronto and located at Harbour Square Basin, The Peacemaker is an art piece by Jay Havens. It is inspired by the story of the Peacemaker which dates back 1000 years. The story goes a Wendat diplomat in a shining canoe sailed from the north shores to bring a message of divine peace to all nations of the world.

 

“The Peacemaker’s Canoe is pointing to an older history that continues to exist on this land and remains not widely known. Events that have taken place here before the arrival of settlers have helped to shape the world we know today. I hope visitors to Harbour Square Park basin see this shining canoe and are inspired to learn about The Great Law and the story of The Peacemaker.”
