A Solitary Reminder of Our Past: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Chosen from among 6,846 unknown Canadian soldiers buried on European soil (their bodies recovered but identities never confirmed), Canada’s Unknown Soldier represents all the missing and unknown service personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice. They not only gave their lives but also their identities to protect Canada’s freedom.

On May 23, 2000, a Canadian Forces transport arrived in France to bring home Canada’s Unknown Soldier, who had formerly been laid to rest in Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery near Vimy Ridge. Their body had been exhumed and, in honour of the legacy of this person, a delegation comprising of a 45-person guard, a bearer party and a chaplain were present at this reclamation ceremony.

Upon arrival in Canada, the casket rested for several days in the Hall of Honour on Parliament Hill, allowing citizens to pay their respects, before being interred in a granite tomb on the upper plaza of the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The ceremony was attended by Canada’s top-ranking dignitaries and watched live on TV across the country.

The tomb consists of a three-tiered bronze sarcophagus with a sculpture on top boasting three key elements of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial: a medieval sword, a First World War helmet and branches of maple and laurel leaves to symbolize both victory and death.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a focal point of annual Remembrance Day events at the National War Memorial and a stark reminder of the price of war.

"Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it." – Unknown Author

The Children’s Grief Foundation of Canada
Helping Young Grievers Mourn Well

Children are often the forgotten grievers. With family support systems under great strain and the adults around them emotionally distraught, children are often overlooked during the funeral planning process and in the days, weeks and months that follow. Perceived as resilient and able to bounce back, many people don’t understand the emotional turmoil they are going through when someone close to them dies.

One in fourteen children will lose a parent or sibling by the age of 18. Childhood bereavement can have a significant impact on both their emotional and cognitive development. Without proper support, these young people may struggle with mental health challenges and have trouble coping in the future.

The Children’s Grief Foundation of Canada works to raise awareness on the issues children face when grieving. By sharing existing resources and reducing financial barriers, the foundation assists with creating and expanding programs across the country that benefit the needs of grieving children and their families.

The mandate of the Children’s Grief Foundation is to ensure that no child goes without grief support. Together, we can help children grieve and mourn in healthy ways. For more information on the foundation, please visit: https://childrensgrieffoundation.org.
