Anne Frank statue to be installed at Light Horse Park
EDMONTON -- A new statue of Anne Frank is set to be unveiled at Light Horse Park in Edmonton next weekend. The Dutch-Canadian club of Edmonton sponsored the statue, a replica of a work done in 1960 by Dutch sculptor Pieter d'Hont. "We're honoured to have a copy of it here," said John Stobbe with the club. "It's going to be a wonderful new piece of public art and a tremendous way for the Dutch community to yet again say 'thank you' to Canada."
