Project Update

Tribute to Liberty is pleased to announce that a sign stating the upcoming construction of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism, Canada – A Land of Refuge has been placed on-site at the Garden of the Provinces and Territories. The Garden has been called the "western gateway to the Parliament buildings," and foot traffic entering Confederation Boulevard from the west, site of the War Museum and LeBreton Flats (and eventually, the new home arena of the Ottawa Senators!), all goes past the site.

This summer, Tribute to Liberty has had the pleasure of hosting two delegations (pictured below and on the next page). In June, Hungarian Minister of Human Capacities Zoltan Balog and Hungarian Minister of State for Family, Youth and International Affairs Katalin Novak were part of a group hosted by the Hungarian Ambassador to Canada Balint Odor. In August, Tribute to Liberty Chair Ludwik Klimkowski visited the site with Jan Dziedziczk, Poland's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

A site dedication is expected to take place this fall with completion of major elements expected in late 2018.
