Liberty Grand is an event venue inside the Exhibition Place. Formally known as the Ontario Government Building, it was built in 1926. Its marvoulous architecture includes several sculptures at its front entrance and around the building.
There are two massive lion sculptures at the both sides of its southern stairway. These are the works of Charles McKechnie and were made with cast cement in 1926.
The commemorative plaque on the right side honors defenders of York during the American invasion of April 1813. The one on the left is dedicated to Marilyn Bell, a 16 years old Ontario girl who crossed the full length of Lake Ontario on September 9th, 1954. She is the first known person to do so.
