About Us

Tribute to Liberty's mission is to establish a memorial to victims of totalitarian Communism in Canada’s National Capital Region. Tribute to Liberty is a new Canadian organization that in less than two years has accomplished the first major objectives of its mission:

Received approval from the National Capital Commission to build the memorial on National Capital Region land (September 2009)
Launched the "Pathway to Liberty" fundraising campaign (October 2009)
Received the official support of the Government of Canada (Throne Speech, March 2010)
Received Charitable Status (May 2010)
Gained the support of communities, elected officials and media for the memorial

Victims of the atrocities committed by Communist regimes have not received recognition for their suffering. This is beginning to change: archives have been opened and the truth can no longer be hidden.

It is profoundly appropriate that a Canadian organization is establishing a memorial in Canada to commemorate victims of totalitarian Communism. Over 8 million Canadians trace their roots—and many their own lives—to countries that lived or live under Communism. Further, the memorial recognizes the role Canada has played in offering refuge to the millions that left behind suffering and repression to live in a free and democratic country.

Tribute to Liberty's next objectives to complete its mission are:

Raising the funds necessary to build the memorial
Conducting a national design competition to choose a design for the memorial
Overseeing the construction of the memorial and the development of the site the memorial will be located on
Unveiling the memorial
