Nathan Phillips Square Toronto

Nathan Phillips Square is a city square that forms the front entrance to Toronto City Hall or 'New City Hall' at Queen Street West and Bay Street. Nathan Phillips was mayor of Toronto from 1955 to 1962. The square opened in 1965. Like City Hall, the square was designed by Viljo Revell. At the southwest corner of the square, on Queen Street, is Oscar Nemon's statue of Sir Winston Churchill. The square is the site of concerts, art displays, a weekly farmers' market, the winter festival and other public events, including demonstrations.
