As a major project spearheaded by the Etobicoke Historical Society, the new sculpture of Joshua Glover will be a major historic landmark and art piece for Etobicoke. In 2017, EHS initiated the History and Art in the Parks project and partnered with the city on the Glover commission. Rexdale-born and raised artist Quentin VerCetty, who won the City of Toronto artist competition for the piece, said he felt a kinship with Joshua Glover as he designed his sculpture of the runaway slave wearing a suit and hat, clutching his freedom papers and books and looking toward the future, a mangled cyborg arm dangling chains behind him.

In this feature article by Toronto.com, EHS President Joel Winter shares some background on the project and its importance to Etobicoke history - now, more than ever!
