Photo: Peacekeeping Monument City Of Ottawa Ontario Canada
The Peacekeeping Monument in the city of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada's capital city, commemorates the work Canada has done, and continues doing for International Peacekeeping.
The Peacekeeping Monument in the City of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada was created by a design team from British Columbia including Jack K.Harman (1927-2001), a Vancouver born sculptor, who was responsible for many statues, including the Bannister-Landy 'Miracle Mile' at Empire Stadium in Vancouver, B.C. A landscape architect Cornelia H. Oberlander and the urban designer Richard G. Henriquez were also assigned to the project.
The Peacekeeping Monument is the only one of its kind in the world and is named 'Reconciliation'. The tableau shows a woman and two men who are soldiers but obviously peacekeepers standing on two sharp stone ridges, surrounded by the results of the devastation of war, then meeting at the higher spot. A symbol of hope and peace after the chaos. ... continue below the picture...

The Royal Canadian Mint commemorated 'Reconciliation' on the 1995 $1.00 coin. The Peacekeeping Monument is located on Sussex Drive at the intersection of St Patrick Street, near the National Gallery of Canada. When in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, 'Reconciliation' should be visited - it pays homage to both the living and the dead, and all the work Canada has done and continues doing for International Peacekeeping.
