THE FIGHT FOR CANADA
1812 – 1815

Fought on land and on water, the War of 1812
helped shape the future of Canada. To defeat
the American invasion, people from various
walks of life came together – men and women;

monument reflect the diversity of those who
joined forces to defend this land and ensure
Canada's existence.
