The unique and environmentally friendly Pride Of Canada Carousel is the kinetic centerpiece of Remington’s public art initiative. Unlike any carousel ever created, each of its 44 rideable sculptures has been lovingly crafted from found and/or recycled objects.

The Carousel serves as a cultural landmark and venue for community gatherings and events on Downtown Markham.
