"Toronto recommissions the Salmon Run Fountain

"Salmon Run," a fountain, sculpture created by artist Susan Schelle in 1991 will be officially recommissioned in a ceremony hosted by the City of Toronto.

The fountain is a combination of both black and "Atlantic" green granite as well as bronze. It depicts salmon swimming upstream through a barrier of reeds and eelgrass and is approximately 8 feet high and 50 feet across.

"Salmon Run" was created to acknowledge the natural heritage of the Toronto lakeshore and inspire hope for the ecological well-being of an area now dominated by human traffic.

The recommissioning ceremony will celebrate this important focal point of the City’s most visited attraction - the CN Tower."
