The Memorial to the Victims of Communism – Canada, a Land of Refuge will recognize Canada's international role as a place of refuge for people fleeing injustice and persecution and honour the millions who suffered under communist regimes. The Memorial will be built just west of the terraces of the Garden of the Provinces and Territories in Ottawa.
