Kiwanis Bandshell Memorial Sculpture

The Kiwanis Memorial Bandshell was established to honor Canada's participation in the First World War, and to pay tribute to the fallen lives. The Bandshell hosts special community and music events throughout the year. The installation of a public skating rink in front of the Bandshell is the oldest tradition, dating back to 1913.



The Kiwanis Bandshell sculpture is composed of two materials, stainless steel and granite, that rest atop a rectangular pad of poured concrete foundation. The main body of the sculpture is composed of stainless steel that has been manipulated into sweeping arches that reflect the shape of the Bandshell directly to the sculpture’s North side.
The stainless-steel panels are finished with decorative abrasions to the steel surface, creating lines and curves that shift with the light and viewing angle.
