Jenny Wren // Frances Gage // 1972 Bronze Cambridge Libraries & Galleries, Queen’s Square

Artist, Frances Gage is well known for her commemorative sculptures. Jenny Wren is a national monument to the women who served in Canada’s Navy during World War II in the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service. Between 1942 and 1945 over 6,000 Wrens from across Canada came to what was then Galt for their basic training before going to their wartime assignments.

Excerpt from cambridgepoppyproject.ca:

Jenny Wren Statue - Queen's Square Idea Exchange (Galt)
Team Lead: Danny Ingrouville

Located in front of the Idea Exchange near the Cenotaph, this statue was given to the city of Galt in October 1972 by the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (or Wren's) who completed their basic training in Galt during WWII (1943-45). This was the first statue to commemorate servicewomen in Canada. Our installation around Jenny will feature poppies incorporated in an original work of art by Artist Danny Ingrouville.
