Canadians are invited to have their say about the five designs proposed for this new national monument
OTTAWA, ON, May 26, 2021 /CNW/ - The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage, and the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, invite Canadians to view the five design concepts for the National Monument to Canada s Mission in Afghanistan and share their views.
In 2019, teams of professional artists, landscape architects, architects and other urban design professionals were invited to present their credentials to design the monument. Veterans Affairs Canada later held consultations with families and experts on design considerations for the monument. Last August, the government announced five teams were shortlisted to prepare proposals, which were revealed today.
