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.

MARKING THE MONUMENT'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY

June 28, 2011 will mark the 10-year anniversary of the unveiling of the Monument to Canadian Aid Workers. Check in later for details on a ceremony to mark this important event.

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.

Honouring lives lost

There are other Canadians who have lost their lives in developing countries as a direct result of the risks they face in the course of their development and humanitarian work.

The creation of a Permanent Record honours those Canadians who have died carrying out development and humanitarian work in developing countries.
