The National Monument to Canada's Mission in Afghanistan came one step closer to reality yesterday when Canadian Heritage, on behalf of Veterans Affairs, launched the first phase of the design competition for this new national commemoration.
The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, and the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism, invite teams of professional artists, landscape architects, architects and other urban design professionals to submit their credentials and examples of prior work to the Request for Qualifications webpage. The deadline for submissions is January 17, 2020.
The National Monument to Canada's Mission in Afghanistan will recognize the commitment and sacrifice of Canadians who served in Afghanistan and the support provided to them by Canadians at home.
