A statue of John Deighton was commissioned in 1970 and was sculpted by Vern Simpson. Its location moved to various spots in Vancouver's Gastown neighborhood, in British Columbia, Canada. It was finally installed at a spot near where Deighton (also known as "Gassy Jack") had opened the Globe Saloon in 1867. On February 14, 2022, the statue was toppled by protesters.
