Who are the Victims of Wars?
The "Victims of Wars" memorial, located on the Legislative Grounds in Winnipeg, Manitoba, honors both military personnel and civilians whose lives have been disrupted by conflict. Established to recognize the widespread and often overlooked suffering caused by wars, the site includes a grove and a commemorative boulder. Dedicated by the People of Manitoba on August 6, 1985, this memorial stands as a poignant reminder that the trauma of war reaches far beyond the battlefield, especially affecting children and the displaced. As we mark its 40th anniversary in 2025, the memorial continues to inspire reflection on the pursuit of peace.
