Carp

 
 
Location:  City of Ottawa     N 45 20.725   W 76 02.368
On Donald B Munro Drive, where it meets Falldown Lane.


This memorial representing the township of West Carleton, was recently unveiled in 2011.  The sculpture was made by Ron Cowle, a noted artist and sculptor.  The park is very nicely laid out and landscaped, featuring a one-of-a-kind bronze sculpture of a soldier reading his mail from home amid the rubble of war, also a black granite plaque with the names of the war dead from this region, and an artillery piece of recent vintage.
My hat is off to the Carp Business Improvement Area for creating a unique and well-done memorial to honour those who died many years ago.  This community has not forgotten the sacrifices made by those who came before.
