Located in the southwestern area of Memorial Park in Winnipeg, this stone monument commemorates Manitoba’s fallen Peace Officers, Firefighters, and those who died of workplace injuries and occupational diseases.
The origins of this monument date to 2007 with the passing of Bill 22 - The Firefighters, Peace Officers and Workers Memorial Foundations Act, which respectively created the Workers Memorial Foundation, Peace Officers Memorial Foundation, and Firefighters Memorial Foundation. Work on the monument began in 2013 following an agreement between the three foundations and the provincial government, along with donations from the government and the Manitoba Government Employees Union. The monument was designed by Scatliff Miller Murray and it features engravings on three large granite slabs.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 27 April 2018, one day before that year's National Day of Mourning, and it was unveiled officially at the National Day of Mourning on 28 April 2022, that day having been federally designated under the Workers Mourning Day Act in 1991.
