Officially opened in 1965, the square was designed by Viljo Revell and is a significant civic landmark. It has served as a venue for numerous public events including celebrations, demonstrations, festivals, and concerts throughout its history. The square is recognizable for its iconic Toronto sign installed in 2015 and the Peace Fountain which features an abstract design and operates seasonally.
