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, “IN GOOD HANDS”, depicts a Canadian Medical Assistant treating a wounded soldier on a stretcher. The Medical Assistant is taking the causality’s pulse and is seen holding the casualty’s left wrist. Copies of this work were acquired by the Canadian Forces Medical School in Borden, Ontario, and by several other medical units. It was unveiled in 1992, and is dedicated to current and past Canadian medical personnel.
