The monument is an abstract piece that sits on a pathway in the square. On the base of the plaque it reads: "This sculpture placed here by the Vancouver Daily Province as a memento of its 67 years of newspaper publishing in the neighbourhood of Victory Square 1898 to 1965."
The Vancouver Daily Province started in 1898 in the area. The original building was located across the street from this piece. The tabloid newspaper was a rival to the Vancouver Sun. In 1957, the Pacific Press Limited bought both the Sun and the Province.
