War of 1812 Monument, Ottawa

The War of 1812 Monument, also known as The Triumph Through Diversity Monument, is a memorial made of bronze and stone located at Parliament Hill in Ottawa. It honors the participants from the Canadian side of the War of 1812, represented by seven figures. These include a First Nations fighter, a Métis militiaman, a Royal Newfoundland Regiment infantryman, a Canadian Voltigeurs soldier being attended to by a female figure, a Royal Navy marine, and a farmer. Positioned across from the National War Memorial, one of the figures on the monument points towards it.

In addition to the figures, the monument features a maple tree that was planted using soil collected from ten Canadian battlefield sites. During its dedication, the tree was watered with water sourced from six significant oceans and lakes associated with the War of 1812. The tree symbolizes the growth of the Canadian nation as a result of the collective efforts to defend Canada during the war.

Designed by sculptor Adrienne Alison, the monument was officially unveiled on November 6, 2014, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Malcolm's Mills, the final battle of the War of 1812 fought in Canada.
