Harlem Restaurant on Richmond St. E. has turned the door to their patio space into a Memorial Wall. For years it boasted a tribute to Michael Jackson but it currently pays homage to the great Nelson Mandela who passed away in December 2013. The work was done by local artist Naia.
In 2014 the City of Toronto recognized the importance of Mandela's life and legacy by ceremonially dedicating a stretch of University Avenue to his memory. Now between Front St. W. and College St., University Avenue street signs also bear the name of Nelson Mandela Boulevard.
