Children of Peace Park Sculpture
Last summer, a new sculpture was installed in Children of Peace Park, designed by Kyle Thornley. It symbolizes resilience, growth and optimism. Former Glass Tiger member, Michael Hanson, wrote a song titled ‘Holding Hope’ dedicated to the sculpture as a fundraiser for the Sharon Museum Gardens. All money from this song’s streams will be donated directly to the Sharon Museum Gardens. The song is available on streaming services, and the video is available to watch on YouTube. Learn more at sharonmuseumandgardens.ca.
