The Portraits of Honour mural is dedicated to the memory of the 158 Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew that lost their lives serving in Afghanistan. The mural was created by Cambridge Kinsman and artist Dave Sopha. It took over 6,500 hours to paint.
Once completed, the mural was toured across Canada starting on May 28, 2011 in Kitchener, Ontario, and the last stop was on December 10, 2011, in Cambridge, Ontario. The mural traveled 47,000 kms, paying respect to Canada’s 158 fallen soldiers, sailors, and aircrew from 120 different locations across the country. The mural was also displayed at the Juno Beach Centre in France from September 21 to October 13, 2013.
