Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926. She will turn 90 years old this year. She is currently the world's oldest monarch and the longest reigning British monarch of all time. Queen Elizabeth II is not only the Queen of England, but also the Queen of Canada. Therefore, she visits Canada quite frequently and there are many statues and monuments in her honour across the country.
When we were in Winnipeg, Manitoba we visited the beautiful legislative building. On the east side of the grounds near Kennedy Street is a monument which commemorates the Queen’s address to the Manitoba Legislative Assembly during its provincial centennial in 1970. The sculpture was created by Leo Mol who also has hundreds of other sculptures located in Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park. When the statue was relocated to the legislative building grounds the Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh were there for the unveiling.
