"Nuns and Nightingales" - Calgary, Alberta - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

From a news article:
"A nun and a nurse are now permanent residents in Calgary's Mission area.


A commemorative statue of a nun wearing a traditional habit and a nurse in a 1950's graduation uniform was unveiled today in front of the Holy Cross Centre.


In 1891, four Sister of Charity nuns established the Holy Cross Hospital with just $73.75.


The school of nursing was established sixteen years later in 1907.


According to Barbara Nesselback, a graduate of the class of 1960, the statue is a nod to Sister of Charity nuns contribution to Calgary's history.


The bronze statue has been named ‘Nuns and Nightingales'."
