    When you walk from the Nathan Phillips Square towards the new city hall you will see this statue of Winston Churchill. It's a difficult statue to take a picture of, as it is so dark that the structure is hard to see, and the bright light in the background doesn't make it any easier either, LOL.

    Looking over Nathan Phillips square, not all that spectacular, but there's an ice rink on the square in winter, and this is also where the Winterfest is held.

    I found this idea so much fun! In the wintertime you can go skating on the Nathan Phillips Square. The skating rink is only small, but you're in the middle of downtown on, opposite the old City Hall. I wouldn't mind doing this some day! I was here late November and brrrrr it sure felt cold enough to go skating, but unfortunately the skating rink wasn't open.

    It's a colourful sight, all those flags in a row opposite the Old City Hall. Hahaha, I had to take an 'illegal' route to make this picture. On the Nathan Phillips Square you can walk up on a walkway and have a good view from above over the square and the city hall. This area was closed for the winter but of course that didn't stop me and my sis to climb over the fence and walk up anyway ;-)

    Old City Hall

    The Old City Hall was designed by Toronto architect Edward James Lennox (whose projects include Casa Loma and the King Edward Hotel). it took almost a decade and $2.5 million, before it was officially opened by then Mayor John Shaw in September, 1899. It was not only the biggest structure in the city at that time, it was also the largest municipal building in North America. When Toronto's fourth and most recent City Hall opened across from Bay Street in 1965, Old City Hall became a courthouse for the Ontario government. In 1989, Old City Hall was declared a national historic site by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.

    Look for the different Moose around town! Each one is different. My favorite was this moose on a diving board! Oh! And the one in front of CN Tower was cute too!

  • New City Hall/Nathan Phillips Square You've seen New City Hall before -- including on Star Trek, where it's twin white curved towers made it an important building of the distant future. It's been 'New' City Hall since the 1960s. The Square in front has ice skating in the winter (beats Rockefeller Hall by a mile!) and cultural events of all sorts the rest of the year.

    CITY HALL. The Toronto City Hall was the result of a world-wide architectural competition won by Viljo Revell of Helsinki, Finland and the building opened on September 13, 1965. Unfortunately, Revell died before the opening, so the city dedicated a Commemorative Column to his memory that stands on the grounds. Bummer. In addition to providing the usual municipal services to local residents, Toronto City Hall is also a popular tourist attraction. Located just outside of City Hall is Nathan Phillips Square ....a popular entertainment complex offering free concerts, ice skating, and the annual New Year's Eve celebration.
