THE MEMORIAL Why a Memorial? Why in Canada? | The Victims | Impact on the Community | Funding In September 2009 Tribute to Liberty received approval from the National Capital Commission (NCC) to build a Memorial to Victims of Totalitarian Communism - Canada, a Land of Refuge on National Capital Region land. In August 2010 a site in the Garden of the Provinces and Territories in Ottawa was allocated to Tribute to Liberty for the memorial.A
major commemoration on national capital region land requires a
national design competition "to ensure quality and excellence of design
in keeping with the significance of the Capital. A design competition
also provides unique opportunities for the Canadian artistic community
to participate in the development of national commemorations" (NCC
Policy Guidelines). Tribute to Liberty will hold a national design
competition once significant funds have been raised for the memorial. |
