National Métis Veterans' Memorial Monument

Batoche, Québec

Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

The National Métis Veterans' Memorial Monument has been engraved in honour of all Métis veterans. The monument has taken years of planning and fundraising. It was first unveiled in July, 2014, marking the achievement of its installation at Batoche. The names of veterans have been collected over many years of research and collaboration with others as well as submissions from the friends and families of Métis veterans. While it is sad to acknowledge that thousands of Métis deserve the inscription, we are proud to honour and commemorate over 5,000 veterans with this first engraving on the monument. Fundraising for the monument's upkeep and future engravings will be ongoing so veterans who are unknown to us at this time can be added in years to come. The monument will forever be a place to pay our respects to Métis servicemen and servicewomen.
