This fountain is part of this impressive sculpture by Bernie Miller. I think the fountain helps to balance the mass of the sculpture and the different elements it is made of.

You can find this fountain at David Pecaut Square (formerly Metro Centre Plaza) - King Street West, Toronto


"On the east side of Metro Centre Plaza, between the old Metro Hall building and Roy Thompson Hall, is Bernie Miller's impressive 1992 sculpture, The Poet, The Fever Hospital.

The piece is over 9 metres high and is comprised of bronze, granite, steel and marble, incorporating a fountain / bird bath and a reflecting pool. The piece takes local history into account to form a dual memorial.

The poet in question is Isabella Valancy Crawford, who briefly lived in a house near this site. The fever hospital refers to one of Toronto's first hospitals (York Hospital, 1829-1856), which was also situated nearby."
