Wait for Me, Daddy by Claude Detloff is one of the most recognized photographs in the world and has become iconic for New Westminster. The photograph, which became integral to Canada's effort in WWII, was taken 75 years ago this October. To celebrate, the City of New Westminster is presenting a contemporary response to the classic image.
