New Westminster's waterfront has the world's largest tin man soldier, as recognized by the Guinness World Records; it is 32 feet (9.75 meters) tall and weighs 5 tons (4500 kilograms). It was unveiled in 2000 and moved to its present location next to the River Market in 2001. Its design was modeled after the Royal Engineers who founded the city.
