Memorial Day for Canadian Foreign Aid Workers
June 28, 2011: the 10-year anniversary of the unveiling of the
Monument to Canadian Aid Workers in Ottawa
The Monument’s 3 Key Messages:

humanitarian assistance…
2) A tribute to all Canadians who die while pursuing the ideals of international
development and humanitarian assistance and acknowledgement of the risk
they face in the course of their work…
3) Special dedication to Tim Stone and Nancy Malloy, who inspired the idea of
