XXXVI ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
The committee appointed to carry out arrangements for completing 
the Simcoe monument met eight times, and at its last meeting had the 
satisfaction of arriving at a decision respecting the model, and the 
sculptor, Mr. Walter Allward, in whose hands the work will be placed. 
The statue will be of bronze 9 feet high and will be erected in Queen’s 
Park near the Parliament Buildings. 
The Laura Secord monument committee also held several meetings, 
resulting in the choice of Miss Mildred Peel to execute a life-size bust 
of the heroine of Upper Canada, to be placed on a suitable pedestal with 
inscription, over the grave at Lundy’s Lane.
