Canada’s Unknown Soldier: 25 Years of Remembrance


Listen Later

Twenty-five years ago, the remains of an unidentified Canadian soldier were brought home from France and laid to rest at Ottawa’s National War Memorial. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has since become one of our country’s most meaningful sites of remembrance.

In this episode, artist and sculptor Mary Ann Liu, who designed the tomb, shares the vision and symbolism behind her work. Then, Dr. Stacey Barker, Historian of Arts and Military History at the Canadian War Museum, helps us trace the tomb’s origins and lasting significance. Together, they reveal how this monument continues to honour the sacrifices of those who served—and the values that unite generations of Canadians.

Le Soldat inconnu du Canada : 25 ans de mémoire


Il y a vingt-cinq ans, les restes d’un soldat canadien non identifié ont été rapatriés de France et inhumés au Monument commémoratif du Canada à Ottawa. Depuis, la Tombe du Soldat inconnu est devenue l’un des symboles les plus puissants du souvenir au pays.

Dans cet épisode, l’artiste et sculptrice Mary Ann Liu, conceptrice de la tombe, partage la vision et les symboles qui inspirent son œuvre. Puis, l’historienne Stacey Barker, spécialiste de l’art et de l’histoire militaire au Musée canadien de la guerre, nous aide à retracer les origines et la portée durable de ce monument. Ensemble, elles explorent la manière dont la Tombe du Soldat inconnu continue d’honorer le sacrifice de ceux et celles qui ont servi — et les valeurs qui unissent les générations de Canadiens et de Canadiennes.
