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.

Besserer Street was erected by the city of Ottawa and dedicated to Louis-Théodore Besserer (04 Jan 1785 - 03 Feb 1861). Veteran of the War of 1812, Besserer served first as a lieutenant in the Quebec city militia and later as a captain. Following the Upper and Lower Canada Rebellions, he moved to Bytown/Ottawa where he became owner of large tracts of land in the Sandy Hill area.
