The inscription on a maroon plaque, a short distance away from the monument, reads as follows:
“…mark my words, whoever may take over the reins of power will have to have a navy, as every nation with a seashore must have and has had in the past.”
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, November 10, 1910
This monument was created as an enduring legacy to the Royal Canadian Navy, in honour of its centennial celebrated in 2010.
Since its establishment, the Navy has been instrumental in protecting and preserving our maritime approaches, but also by representing our interests in international waters.
This monument commemorates the contributions and sacrifices of the men and women in naval uniform who have served and continue to serve Canada at sea in times of peace and war. Their contribution will not be forgotten.
