Larry Sefton Memorial
Larry Sefton Memorial, donated by the United Steelworkers of America and dedicated to a longtime steelworkers’ union leader who passed away in 1973. Sefton spent 20 years in the steelworkers’ union and was a much-liked and respected figure. Prior to his time with the steelworkers, Sefton had figured prominently in a miners’ strike in northern Ontario.
Designed by Jerome Markson and installed in 1977, the memorial presents an arrangement of 16 vertical steel I-beams, arrayed on an upwards slope. The close spacing of the beams symbolizes workers’ unity and solidarity
