Adrian Stimson, an Indigenous Artist and veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, has been chosen to design Canada's national monument to its mission in Afghanistan. Stimson's design was selected after multiple rounds of consultations with the public and stakeholders, with veterans influencing the final decision. The monument will be built on the LeBreton Flats in Ottawa and will recognize the commitment and sacrifice of Canadians in helping to rebuild Afghanistan. The monument will feature a circular, sacred space of safety with four portals, where an interior area is dedicated to remembering the fallen.
