    This is perfect! I did some research on the church where it is located, and it would be great to go there for my report on the genocide and its history!

      There is (or was, maybe) a plan to move to Toronto a medieval khachkar that's currently in Montreal, to use as a genocide memorial.

        Do you know when these plans will be fulfilled?

          This sculpture is located at the Armenian Apostolic church on Victoria Park.

            Are you sure this khachkar was destined for Toronto or Quebec? I think one went to Quebec.
