In 2017, EHS initiated a proposal for the City of Toronto to erect a memorial to Joshua Glover, who arrived in Canada in 1854 via the Underground Railroad after escaping slavery in the U.S.  Joshua was employed at Montgomery's Inn and also rented a house from Thomas Montgomery in Lambton Mills.

We are pleased to announce that the City has approved the funding for the memorial which will be located in the new Joshua Glover Park (4208 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke) very close to where Joshua's home was located.

The City is now requesting artist proposals for the memorial with a deadline of April 30, 2020. Please let anyone know who may be interested.
