The Soldier, by sculptor George W. Hill, was dedicated in 1921 to honour the former pupils of Harbord Collegiate Institute who died for humanity in the Great War. The sculptor's name is etched into the base of the statue.

Edward William Hagarty was principal of Harbord Collegiate from 1906 to 1928. He served four years with the Queen’s Own Rifles while an undergraduate at the University of Toronto and was selected to raise the 201st Toronto Light Infantry in January 1916. Competing with several battalions, Hagarty struggled to fill the ranks of the 201st. He toured Toronto schools and cadet corps, emphasized morality and temperance, and promised to raise a liquorless battalion.

The colonel’s 21 year old son, Lieutenant Daniel Galer Hagarty, was expected to leave France in order to join his father as the battalion adjutant. Before he could return to Toronto, he died in action on 2 June 1916 while fighting with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Three months later, Hagarty announced his resignation for personal reasons and disbanded the 201st Toronto Light Infantry. One company went to the 170th (Mississaugas) and another went to the 198th (Canadian Buffs). One year after their son’s death, Hagarty and his wife erected a memorial tablet at Harbord Collegiate.

The memorial was rededicated in November 2005 by the son of Harbord student (Willard) Garfield Weston who had dropped out after three years at the high school to join his countrymen in the trenches of Europe where he was a sapper stringing communications wires across the Allied front.

In November 2014, three names of former Harbord students killed during the First World War were added to a plaque on the school’s memorial statue, known affectionately as “Our Soldier" - Lieutenant Myer Tutzer Cohen, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Craik Irving and Lieutenant Walter Howard Curry.

George William Hill was born in Shipton, Eastern Townships, in 1861. He learned to carve marble in his father’s company, after he graduated from college. Between 1889 and 1894, he left Quebec to study sculpting at the École nationale des beaux-arts and Académie Julian in Paris. When he returned to Montreal, he opened a studio and worked with architect Robert Findlay and brothers Edward and William S. Maxwell. Known for his public monuments and war memorials, he is now considered one of the most important Canadian sculptors of the early twentieth century.

Hill designed several monuments commemorating Canadians lost in the South African War, including the Strathcona and South African Soldiers' Memorial in Quebec and Boer War Soldiers Monument in Ontario. At the end of the First World War, Hill was awarded several contracts by towns and cities wishing to pay homage to citizens who had died on the battlefields. Between 1920 and 1930 he designed these monuments: Westmount CenotaphMagog CenotaphArgenteuil CenotaphRichmond CenotaphSherbrooke War Memorial in Quebec; Pictou County War Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldier's MonumentThe Soldier and Nurses’ Memorial in Ontario; and the Soldier's Monument in Prince Edward Island.

The Book of Remembrance lists the names of all officers from The Bank of Nova Scotia (including the amalgamated banks - The Bank of Ottawa and The Bank of New Brunswick) who died in the First and Second World Wars.

The bank's General Manager, Mr. C. Sydney Frost recorded the names of those who gave their lives in the two World Wars for the book. Mr. A. Scott Carter, who also designed the bank’s seal and coat of arms, spent more than two years hand-lettering and illuminating the book which was completed. The names of the war dead are inscribed on vellum pages with two names on each page. When the book was completed in 1952, the next of kin of each war dead received a replica of the page bearing the name of their loved one.

Of the total of 94 staff members who died in the First World War, nearly 80 percent were 25 years of age or younger with an average of three years of service in the bank. Of the total of 81 staff members who were killed in the Second World War, 57 percent were 25 years old or younger and also had an average of only three years of service in the bank. Most of the First World War casualties were in the Army. In the Second World War, more than three-quarters of those who died were in the Air Force, with the words “reported missing, presumed dead, following air operations” appearing after many of their names in the book.

In 1951, The Bank of Nova Scotia opened their General Office at 44 King Street West in Toronto, Ontario. From the outset of its construction, consideration was taken to preserve a space for a memorial to members of staff who died in the two World Wars. On 24 September 1953, the bank held a service of remembrance to dedicate a special room, known as the Memorial Room, to the memory of those who served. The Book of Remembrance stood on display as the main focal point in this room. The bank no longer has a Memorial Room and the book is now located in the Archives.

In the early 1980s, a coalition of Peace activists petitioned the then-Mayor Art Eggleton to erect a Peace Garden in Nathan Phillips Square at City Hall. The two angled, stepped planting planes echo the form of two cupped hands – framing a space focused on the project of peace. It reinstates the original and restored Peace Pavilion and its iconography, with a new flame and water cauldron set within a reflecting pool. The bronze cauldron symbolically contains the water brought from Nagasaki, with an eternal flame – kindled in Hiroshima – supporting the open corner of the Pavilion.

The pavilion is reached via a bridge made with granite from the original garden. The Garden is open to the main Square to the north and east, maintaining the visual connection between the Eternal Flame and the Mayor’s office. Large engraved concrete thresholds with stainless steel letters at the north and south announce the name of the garden, and a bridge crosses between the ginkgos.

The architecture was a joint venture of Plant Architects Inc and Perkins + Will Architects, with the modernist masterwork by Finnish architect Viljo Revell.
