Public art project "Immigrant Family" by Tom Otterness located at 18, Yonge Condominiums, at the northwest corner of Yonge St. and Lake Shore Blvd in Toronto was unveiled in 2007, and is one of many "pieces created across the city since 1985, when Toronto created the Percent for Public Art program – which encourages private developers to dedicate 1 per cent of construction costs for public art. "The unapologetically whimsical sculpture, depicting three new arrivals – a father figure in business attire toting two burdensome suitcases and a mother wearing a headscarf and carrying a swaddled baby – is a tribute to Toronto's tradition of welcoming new immigrants."
