The *Havre de la paix* (Peace Harbour) monument is the first of its kind in the Charlevoix region. The municipality of Saint?Siméon is proud to give all veterans and the entire population an opportunity to come and reflect at a unique location on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. This monument was created by artist Martin Brisson, a skilled sculptor and native of Charlevoix, who lives in La Malbaie and whose passion is reflected in his works.

The municipality of Saint-Siméon created a symbolic monument as part of its 150th anniversary to honour the efforts and bravery of the people of Charlevoix and all over Canada who have given their life for peace.

Never again

The monument was dedicated November 11 1923 by Mrs Ghislaine Chenier, acting mayor of Hull.

To men, women and children of Hull who suffered because of these wars 1914-18, 1939-1945, 1950-1953.

They shall not grow old as we are left to grow old, age shall not weary then, not the years condemn at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.

May our collective memory strive for the future of peace.

This cenotaph was erected in memory of our glorious war dead. It was unveiled on November 11th, 1966, in front of the Canadian Legion building, on lot 222, boulevard Perron West, a property that belongs today to Mr. Fabrice Bourques, evaluator. In 1968, when the building became property of the chief of police, Mr. Brisson, the monument was moved in front of the old city hall. In 1975, the old convent became the new city hall and the monument was moved again. Some have called it the travelling monument! Its last move has been to its present location in Souvenir Park, in 1989. Each year, on November 11th, a Remembrance Day ceremony is held in front of the monument, and many wreaths are laid.
