Toronto is known around the world for its multiculturalism as much as it is for cold winters and hockey. “Monument to Multiculturalism” by Francesco Perilli, stands in a highly prominent location on the south side of Front Street, in front of the main entrance of Union Station. The well-known sculpture depicts a man joining two of the world's meridians, with the other meridians held by doves. In today's Photo of the Day, which was submitted to the UrbanToronto Flickr Pool by Peter Crock, we are given a worm's-eye view of the sculpture in relation to the freshly restored limestone facade of Union Station, the Royal York Hotel, and the modern office towers of the Financial District.
