The 2002 Canadian portrait hangs in the South Entrance to 'Families First Funeral Home' in South Windsor. (I think it is very important for business owners to hang HM's picture if they're loyal)
Sadly, HM's picture has been taken down at Zehrs grocerie store in LaSalle, ON. (However, the hook that once supported it is STILL in the wall! LOL) I was (still am) surprised to see that a business owned by G. Weston would take down a picture of The Queen, as Hilary Weston once served as Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
There is not a portrait of HM at the Ambassador Bridge, the most heavily used entry point into Canada. The walls of the Customs are bare and lack anything except the flag. Meanwhile on the the American side, a portrait of The President hangs proudly along with the Stars and Stripes.
