Community War Memorial Program - Government of Canada

Veterans Affairs Canada is committed to partnering with communities across Canada to build cenotaphs/monuments and major additions to existing ones, to commemorate the achievements and sacrifices of those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace.

Monuments are used as gathering places for people to collectively remember those who have served Canada. They have the ability to bring Canadians together for Remembrance Day services and other military anniversaries or milestones, and help ensure that remembrance continues to be visible to Canadians in their own communities.

With help from the Community War Memorial Program, communities and organizations across Canada will be able to build cenotaphs/monuments or major additions to existing ones, that promote and preserve the memory of all those who have served Canada since 1867.

The Community War Memorial Program will end on March 31, 2015.

The Community War Memorial Program is a five-year funding initiative. Applications will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. Please check back to this Web site for all future application deadlines.
