English: Golden Leaves is a monument to Canadian musician Gordon Lightfoot. It is a four-metre tall bronze sculpture consisting of a sitting statue of Lightfoot playing guitar, and a number of maple leaves of varying sizes arranged to create an abstracted larger maple leaf. Each leaf depicts a scene from one of Lightfoot's songs, most chosen from the 1975 compilation album Gord's Gold. It was created by Timothy Schmalz, gifted to the city of Orillia, Ontario by the Rudolph P. Bratty Family Foundation, and unveiled on 23 October 2015 at J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park.
