The Canadian Firefighters Memorial is dedicated to Canadian firefighters who have died in the performance of their duties and to firefighting from all parts of the country. It consists in a 2½ times life-size bronze Firefighter, a 20m Firepole, a White Pine Tree Rock, and a Stone Memorial Wall. The Firefighter is pointing to a wall of honour inscribed with the names of Fallen Firefighters who have given of their lives to protect Canadian residents during fire related and other serious emergencies.
Also inscribed on a granite wall facing the standing firefighter are the words: "NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN" and "GRAVÉ DANS NOS MÉMOIRES".
