The weather looks gorgeous for tomorrow’s #HyackSquareMarketDays! 😎 We can't wait to welcome new vendors & some returning faves to our fully-accessible♿, pet-friendly, tented market space in front of one of #NewWestminster’s most iconic pieces of public art.🎪🛍️See you Saturday 11am-4pm! (PS: it’s 🆓!)
Image of “Wait For Me, Daddy” public sculpture in Hyack Square, created by Canadian Edwin Dam de Nogales and his Spanish wife, Veronica, out of their studio in Barcelona. The sculpture, depicting a child breaking free of his mother’s grasp to chase after his uniformed father as he heads off to war, is based on an iconic 1940 photo of young Warren “Whitey” Bernard running down 8th St to see his daddy, Pte. Jack Bernard, as he departs with the rest of the BC Regiment. Pic: City of New Westminster Black and white photo, dated October 1, 1940, showing the BC Regiment of soldiers in uniform as they march down 8th Street in New Westminster, heading off to war. A blonde haired boy - Warren “Whitey" Bernard, has broken free from his mother’s grasp and is running to catch up to his departing father, Pte. Jack Bernard, to say goodbye, earning the historic image the title “Wait For Me, Daddy."
