But something was off.“It’s difficult to capture someone’s expression, especially when they are not there,” said Chow, a New Democrat MP for Trinity-Spadina, who trained as a sculptor at the Ontario College of Art during her university years.

“I wanted to get his smile smiling more,” she said. “More like the way people remember him.”The sculpture is part of a tribute to Layton that includes the recent renaming of the Toronto Islands ferry terminal, now known as the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.The statue named Jack’s Got Your Back. Stronger Together: The Layton Memorial is funded by the Ontario Federation of Labour, and will be donated to the city and erected near the terminal. In addition to the sculpture, the memorial features a flower bed, a donor wall and the inscription of his famous last words to the nation: “So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”
