This monument is dedicated to Irish famine immigrants who settled in Upper Canada, honoring the 675 of the 1,100 names of those who did not survive the journey, forever engraved in Irish Limestone.

The design goal was to mimic the eroded Irish shoreline, requiring a structure composed of a combination of poured concrete, reinforced masonry, structural stone, and unique stone anchors to support the various complex cantilevers. Innovative engineering and creative design resulted in an outstanding monument that pays tribute to the resilience and legacy of these immigrants.
