Tryzub: Erected November 23, 1983 and dedicated on June 16, 1984. It is a formalized stainless steel sculpture, a symbol of nationhood, designed by John Stefura and crafted by Tony Yaroshak to celebrate Sudbury's Centennial in 1983 and to commemorate the contribution of Ukrainian settlers in the Sudbury area.
"The design of the sculpture is based on the symbol of the Ukrainian nation - the trident. The stylized form signifies the three waves of immigrants who settled in Canada - the first prior to the First World War of 1914, the second in the inter-war period and the third, shortly after the Second World War.
"The triangular stainless steel components are also in a trilon form, one of the strongest geometric shapes, suggesting the strength that these immigrants demonstrated in tackling the unknown and winning a livelihood for their families, and a promising future for the generation that followed them.
"The sculpture is set on an equilateral triangle of limestone, signifying faith, culture and pride of heritage of the Ukrainians who settled here.
"The surrounding base, also in rugged limestone, suggests the three main industries --railroading, mining and lumbering, which made their existence possible in a harsh environment." (this information was taken out of the booklet published for the dedication, Ontario 1984)
Hnatyshyn Memorial Sculputre: Local black granite sculpture designed by Mark Elliott and situated in Hnatyshyn Park was crafted by Khoury and erected in 1991 to celebrate the centennial of Ukrainian immigration to Canada. It was named for the 24th Governor General of Canada the Honourable Ray Hnatyshyn and officially unveiled by him in 1994. Hnatyshyn was the grandson of Ukrainian pioneers who arrived in Canada in 1907.

The 20th anniversary celebration of the Hnatyshyn Park Ukrainian Senior Centre in Sudbury, Ontario afforded an opportunity to reproduce a work entitle "The Arms and The Man" in a commemorative booklet, which offered highlights of Hnatyshyn's remarkable achievements, and a valued record of the occasion.
