Golden Boy

The name of the statue on the top of the Manitoba Legislative Building is the Golden Boy.  The Golden Boy is holding a torch in one hand and wheat in his other hand.  The statue is actually made of bronze and is painted gold.  In 2002, the Golden Boy was taken down to be cleaned and re-painted.  The statue is a lot brighter and easier to see now!
