Located in the provincial capital Victoria, the BC Afghanistan Memorial recognizes the 40,000 Canadians that served in Canada’s longest military campaign and honour those 163 that paid the supreme sacrifice for our country. The Greater Victoria Afghanistan Memorial Project Society designed, purchased and donated the memorial to Her Majesty the Queen, in the Right of British Columbia. The granite monument was quarried and manufactured in Stanstead, Quebec. On 30 September 2017 the BC Afghanistan Memorial was unveiled and dedicated by the Lt. Gov of BC in a ceremony witnessed by over a thousand of our citizens.
