The Simon Fraser Statue in New Westminster, British Columbia, pays tribute to the historic figure Simon Fraser, a renowned explorer. Situated near the Westminster Quay, the statue is a bust of Fraser, located just a short distance from the river he famously explored in 1808. This statue serves as a commemoration of Fraser's significant journey and the river named in honor of his exploration.
Erected by the Native Sons of B.C. and unveiled in 1908, this statue has a rich history linked to the discovery voyage down the river by Simon Fraser. The relocation of the statue in 1988 further highlights its significance, symbolizing the enduring legacy of Fraser's exploration. Visitors can admire the statue and reflect on Fraser's extraordinary expedition and the challenges he faced during his travels.
