Monument to Canadian Aid Workers

The Monument to Canadian Aid Workers, unveiled in June 2001, commemorates Canadians' commitment to international development and humanitarian assistance and to those who die in the line of work.

The Monument's three key messages

1. Commemoratation of Canada's commitment to international development and humanitarian assistance; this message reflects a long-standing value of Canadian citizens to provide development or humanitarian assistance to vulnerable people and victims of conflict abroad.

2. A tribute to all Canadians who die while pursuing the ideals of international development and humanitarian assistance and acknowledgement of the risk they face in the course of their work.

3. Special dedication to Tim Stone and Nancy Malloy, who inspired the idea of the Monument.

HealthBridge's Executive Director from 1993-96, Tim Stone, is one of the two workers whose deaths inspired the monument.

The Monument Project was made possible through the support of:
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
National Capital Commission (NCC)
Department of Canadian Heritage
Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT)
International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
and a large number of individual and organizational donors.
