In a solemn ceremony in May 2000, Canada inaugurated the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, situated at the forefront of the National War Memorial in Ottawa. This tomb holds the remains of an unidentified Canadian soldier who perished in the First World War, brought back from France with high honors.This significant initiative was sparked by The Royal Canadian Legion as part of a Millennium project and was later embraced by the Canadian Government, with Veterans Affairs Canada at the helm. The Tomb serves as a poignant tribute to the over 116,000 Canadians who have laid down their lives for the principles of peace and freedom. It symbolizes the ultimate sacrifice made by Canadians from various military branches - the navy, army, air force, or merchant marine - in numerous conflicts throughout history and into the future. This monument stands not just as a memorial, but as a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom and the valor of those who fight in its name.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (French: Tombe du Soldat Inconnu) is a truly moving part of the National War Memorial, nestled in Confederation Square in Ottawa. This monument represents the incredible sacrifices made by the unnamed soldiers throughout various conflicts in history. It's not just a memorial; it serves as a heartfelt reminder of the price of freedom and the bravery of those who protect it. The area around the tomb is beautifully maintained, with lovely landscaping that creates a peaceful spot for reflection. It’s a great place to take a moment and honour those who have served.

Tomb of unknown soldier lays in front of the national war memorial. It elegantly adds a sens of duty and awareness for all when looking at the war memorial as every single war is the sacrifice of many and there are always those remained unknown for their sacrifice. Picture here was captured during the guard change on the hour. To view the guard change, it’s best to arrive 5 minute before the hour. although it is a simply display, it is a good reminder that we still have an army and without their guard, we cannot enjoy the peace we have.
