The United Jewish Appeal Federation War Memorial was erected on November 11, 2011, by the United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Montreal. The black granite memorial includes the symbols of the Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force, and two stars of David. It was created by L. Berson & Son Monuments and funded by donations from local residents and corporate contributions.

The memorial honours the Jewish people who perished and those who served in the Canadian Forces during the First and Second World Wars, Korean War, peacekeeping missions, and Afghanistan. It commemorates the 18,000 Jewish men and women who served in the Canadian Armed Forces, and the 1.5 million who served in all the Allied Armed Forces.

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.

The largest wall was perforated at the same height as the plaque. The upper portion features a black painted steel cross in the shape of a sword. There are small stone walls on either side. Everything rests on a stone platform.
