Tour participants stand at Toronto Inukshuk Park, formerly Battery Park, which features an Inuit stone structure found in the arctic landscape. The Inukshuk serves as a guide to travellers on land and sea, providing comfort, advice and spatial orientation. One of the largest of its kind in North America, the structure stands 30 feet high with an arm span of 15 feet. Approximately 50 tonnes of mountain rose granite was used to create the Inukshuk, which was made by internationally acclaimed Inuit artist Kellypalik Qimirpik from Cape Dorset, Nunavut.
