HALL OF HONOUR
"The great Hall of Honour is destined to change as Canadian history unfolds. Additional marble carvings will be added to the current collection which commemorates events and distinguished Canadians. In 1932, the Dominion Memorial commemorating the 60th Anniversary of Confederation, was unveiled by the Earl of Bessborough, then Governor General of Canada. The memorial was a presentation to Canadians by Canadian countrymen residing in the United States.
The figures and symbols represent past and present Canadian resources and development. Here the story of Canada is revealed in a series of fascinating plaques and statues ~ a fitting tribute to a vast country with a great past and a bountiful future.
Among the many commemorated events is the Canadian Nurses' Memorial which represents the years of service to country and humanity from 1639 to 1918."
