J	Jane Hooper on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful tribute in the middle of a beautiful city.
M	Marge Simpson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Being a Military Family, this is personal. Thank you all for your service.
V	VinnyBarbarini on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great testament to a world class country! Please note that there is another landmark called The Three Watchmen which is a short bronze (now weathered green) totem pole monument, just across the street from Northwest of the Reconciliation monument. It look like the totem photo has been tagged by Google as the primary header image by mistake for this record.
R	Ryan Cormack on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice monument. The smooth exterior with the rough interior is very poetic and symbolic.
B	Boo Ra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is located in the centre of a major intersection just south of the National Gallery of Canada and just north of the American Embassy and Major's Hill Park. Artist Jack Harman built the three soldiers with architects Richard and Gregory Henriquez designing the site concept and monument structures. Cornelia Oberlander was the landscape architect. The monument was completed in 1992.
D	Daniel Gillis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hidden in a bustling downtown intersection, this is truly a place of peace and tranquility. Honouring Canada's peacekeepers, and at the same time depicting the destruction and meaninglessness of war.
E	Emily CPY on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a very well designed memorial, with several different styles of art and attributes cleverly combined to create a very dramatic and emotional symbol. I particularly appreciate the flag that was at half mast, to acknowledge and remember all the fallen soldiers. Please note this IS NOT The Three Watchmen - that is a Haida totem sculpture across the street.
J	Jay Mehta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely to be visited - especially since it is a symbol of Canada's commitment to the world peace by making its contribution to the UN peacekeepers force that was awarded Nobel Peace Price in 1988. The Sussex Drive side of the monument has the background of the monument very well written - something great to know a bit about the history of the place. Besides the monument itself, the northern corner of the place has a beautiful mini-garden where you can sit and enjoy the view.
