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.

This sculpture, “MILITARY POLICEWOMAN”, depicts a Canadian Military Policewoman with the uniform, weapons, and accoutrements c. 1990. The model chosen was Corporal L.M.M. Monette, a member of 2e Military Police Platoon, who was the first woman MP sent to a dangerous UN Peacekeeping mission: NAMIBIA, where assignments had been previously restricted to male MPs. The sculpture was unveiled in 1990, and is dedicated to current and past members of the Canadian Forces Military Police.
