Monuments are first and foremost reminders. We build the CANADIAN JOURNALIST MEMORIAL in memory of Canadian Journalists who lost their lives in war zones. Sponsored by the Canadian Press Club, this life size bronze cast memorial will be located in central downtown City of Toronto, Canada.
The monument welcomes all tourists and visitors to walk up few steps to see it. There, they encounter in the statue a journalist expressing his work on duty. The inscriptions reads as follows: "CANADIAN JOURNALIST MEMORIAL commemorating journalists who died in the war zones." It will be a life size bronze statue, cast on the base by black granite.
The memorial is influenced by the naturalist school of arts, created by a well- known Vietnamese Canadian Sculptor in Toronto named Pham, Thê Trung. The artist escaped from Vietnam by boat to a refugee camp in Thailand and was later granted
immigrant status by Canada in 1980. His REFUGEE MOTHER AND CHILD monument portraying a Vietnamese mother running from Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam, is located at Preston and Sumerset Street West in Ottawa, Canada.
