From Wikipedia:

The Valiants Memorial (French: Monument aux Valeureux) is a military monument located in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, commemorating fourteen signal figures from the military history of the country.

The work consists of nine busts and five statues, all life-sized, by artists Marlene Hilton Moore and John McEwen. It was installed around the Sappers Staircase, an underpass on the northeastern corner of Confederation Square, adjacent to the National War Memorial. The wall of the staircase is decorated with a quotation from The Aeneid by Virgil: Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo, "No day will ever erase you from the memory of time". The monument was dedicated by Governor General Michaëlle Jean on November 5, 2006.

Text from plaque:

Laura Secord, UE
1775 - 1868

Thanks to Laura Secord, nearly 500 Americans surrendered at Beaver Dams in 1813, and a British defeat was averted. She had overheard plans for a surprice attack and struggled alone through miles of dense bush to warn the commander of the British outpost.
War of 1812.
