The Bookmark at the Bloor Street Viaduct, Toronto

The Bookmark for In the Skin of a Lion, by Michael Ondaatje, stands at the northwest corner of Toronto's Bloor Street Viaduct. The 500 words on the plaque are from a scene in which a nun falls from the bridge during its construction. The In the Skin of a Lion Bookmark is the first in the cross-Canada series and was unveiled on April 23, 2009.
