A quick park'n'grab in Kanata area. Right a cross from Alice Wilson Woods, and behind Earl Of March Secondary School.
The gladiator is a statue I found a while back. I never really got up close to it until today. I'm not sure who made it, or when. This is a cache on the statue. I don't recommend bringing your kids there, as there is lots of broken beer bottles and glass near the base of the satue, plus if they actually look real close at the statue the graffiti on it might help them pick up some words and pictures they probably don't need to know about until their 13 or 14...
*THERE IS NO NEED TO CLIMB ON THE STATUE AT ALL.*
*EDIT*
Thanks to brewsterjuice for digging up some info I guess I hadn't found, but this is called the Watcher, not the Gladiator! In 1971, the piece was created by then 18-year-old artist Glenn Patterson, and presented to William Teron Esq. the creator of the town of Kanata, and to the residents of the Beaverbrook Community. As this sculpture is down the road from a high school, I think it also speaks volumes to youth directly (if they read the plaque!), reinforcing the message that you can accomplish anything and achieve your goals, with a positive mind-set. Look ahead to your dreams – see how results happen with hard work and determination.
