NATIONAL MEMORIAL TO THE FALLEN (built in 2025)
Most of Canada’s war dead are buried in foreign lands, have no known grave, or died at sea. Across this great country, thousands of local memorials mark the names of our Fallen. This memorial does not take the place of those that already exist. Instead, this memorial offers a single place of Remembrance that honours Canada’s Fallen from all our Nation’s conflicts and operations.
This memorial has two components: physical and virtual. The ‘physical’ Memorial you see here depicts images from the various conflicts in which Canada has been engaged, including the time before Confederation. The ‘virtual’ Memorial is a website (www.canadianfallen.ca) that contains the names and stories of the more than 120,000 military personnel killed in the line of duty, in both war and peace, as immortalized in the eight Books of Remembrance at Parliament Hill, Ottawa.
The National Wall of Remembrance Association (NWORA) started in 2010 and has been shepherding both components ever since. NWORA is preserving the story of each of our Fallen in the virtual memorial to give them the recognition they truly deserve. Additional information is available online through the links on this plaque and each memorial panel.
