A Land of Our Own Statue - Sydney, Nova Scotia - Human Migration Monuments on Waymarking.com

The plaque reads:

"A LAND OF OUR OWN
BY WILLIAM ERNEST BROWN
OF SYDNEY AND LOS ANGELES
IN MEMORY OF
THE IMMIGRANTS TO
CAPE BRETOn"

From a Saltwire article:

Sydney native, William Ernest Brown donated the eight-foot bronze statue to the people of Cape Breton.

"It’s the symbol of an immigrant arriving in a new land searching for a home, a man and his son. When tourists come it makes things more interesting, so we see it not only as a memorial to immigration but it also helps to enhance the wharf area as a tourist attraction," said Greg MacLeod, who is organizing a dedication ceremony Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the marine terminal. Brown will be available for a meet-and-greet at the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavillion following the ceremony.
