The monument Lord Stanley’s Gift was selected following an open competition to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the original Stanley Cup. Situated in Ottawa, it stands a few steps from where the original cup was offered as a gift. The film presents the monument in winter and spring settings, accompanied by commentary by artist Linda Covit, art historian, critic, and exhibition curator Mona Hakim, and public art consultant Jean-Yves Bastarache.
