NETHERLANDS - CANADA
LIBERATION MONUMENT

THE MAN WITH TWO HATS

During the Second World War, Canadian soldiers played a crucial role in the liberation of the Netherlands. With the donation of this monument- an expression of joy and a celebration of freedom- the Netherlands pays a lasting tribute to Canada.

A statue identical to this one stands in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. The twin monuments symbolically link Canada and the Netherlands; though separated by an ocean, the two countries will forever be close friends. Her Royal Highness Princess Magriet of the Netherlands unveiled the monument in Ottawa on May 11, 2002, and the other one in Apeldoorn on May 2, 2000.

Artist: Henk Visch

 

MONUMENT EN L’HONNEUR DE LA LIBERATION
DES PAYS-BAS PAR LE CANADA.

L’HOMME AUX DEUX CHAPEAUX

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les soldats canadiens ont joué un rôle crucial dans la libération des Pays-Bas. Par le don de ce monument, les Pays-Bas ont voulu rendre un profond hommage au Canada.

Une statue identique à celle-ci a été érigée à Apeldoorn aux Pays-Bas, les deux œuvres reliant symboliquement le Canada et les Pays-Bas. Bien que séparés par un océan, ces pays resteront à jamais unis dans l’amitié. Son Altesse Royale la princesse Margriet des Pays-Bas a inauguré le monument d’Ottawa, le 11 mai 2002, et celui d’Apeldoorn, le 2 mai 2000.

Unveiled on 11 May 2002, this monument pays tribute to the crucial role played by Canadian soldiers in the liberation of the Netherlands during the Second World War.

The Ottawa Man with Two Hats monument is a replica of the statue found in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn named De man met de twee hoeden. The twin statues exemplify the strong ties between the Netherlands and Canada. The friendship that bonds the two countries grew during the Second World War, when Canadian soldiers played an important role in the Liberation of the Netherlands.

The bronze monument, a gift to Canada from the Netherlands, was created by Dutch artist Henk Visch. The 4.6 meter structure was unveiled by Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands in Ottawa in May 2002. The Princess had also dedicated the original Apeldoorn statue two years earlier in May 2000, during the 55th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands, in front of a large group of Canadian Veterans.

In addition to the monument at its head office in Toronto, the Canadian Bank of Commerce honoured employees from each branch who served in the First World War. This plaque was commissioned shortly after the war and dedicated to the bank's 1701 employees who served in the war, 321 laid down their lives. The names of 21 employees of the Ottawa Canadian Bank of Commerce who served in the war are listed on the plaque. This plaque was erected when this CIBC building was first opened to the public – January 1922.

The plaque features the caduceus logo of the bank - two snakes winding around a winged staff at the upper left, and three poppies intertwined with a symbolic olive branch at the base of the staff. The Canadian Bank of Commerce went to great lengths to commemorate its staff that served in the war including a two-volume book of staff profiles and accounts of their war experiences.

For those who served: In the 1950’s, Canada erected the twin Memorial Buildings on Wellington Street. One of those buildings, at the time housed the new Department of Veterans Affairs. In the 20th century alone, nearly two million Canadians served their country in war. Now Canada serves these people through the Veterans Charter, a pact exceptional in the world for the breadth and scope of services it offers.

At the end of the Second World War in 1945, Canada was determined to help veterans, but it faces an enormous challenge in integrating hundreds of thousands of returning servicemen and servicewomen into Canadian society. The answer was a brilliant array of educational, health, housing and employment programs.

Honouring a generation: The memorial Buildings, erected in 1949 and 1955 respectively, were designed with a sleek melding of neoclassical and copper-roofed château styles. The buildings are unusual in that they are linked by the memorial Arch, which is not really an arch at all, but a bridge. The Memorial Arch is dedicated to all who served in the Second World War.

A feat of arms: In April 1945, Canadian troops cross the Rhine and pushed north to liberate the Netherlands from five long years of occupation. As Canadian tanks rolled into one Dutch town after another, the people went wild with joy and took to the streets in celebration. Returning to Canada, those who served from 1939 to 1945 were honoured with the title of “veterans” and the gratitude of all Canadians.

The National Capital Commission (NCC) in collaboration with Public Works and Government Services Canada.

À la mémoire des Anciens Combattants : Dans les années 1950, le Canada érige les deux édifices commémoratifs de la rue Wellington, dont l’un abritera le ministère des Anciens combattants, nouvellement crée. Au cours du XXe siècle, près de deux millions de Canadiens et de Canadiennes participent aux efforts de guerre. En échange. Le Canada assure des services à ces personnes dans le cadre de la Charte des anciens combattants, pacte unique au monde par sa portée et la vaste gamme de services qu’il prévoit.

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en 1945, le Canada est résolu à aider les anciens combattants, mais il fait face à un défi énorme : intégrer dans la société canadienne des centaines de milliers de militaires de retour au pays. Il y parvient grâce à un excellent éventail de programmes d’éducation, de santé, de logement et d’emploi.

Un hommage à toute une génération : Érigés en 1949 et 1955 respectivement, les édifices commémoratifs présentent des lignes épurées alliant le style néoclassique avec celui des châteaux aux toits de cuivre. Les édifices ont la particularité d’être reliés par une « arche commémorative » en réalité un pont. L’arche est dédiée à toutes les personnes qui ont participé à la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Un exploit militaire : En avril 1945, les troupes canadiennes traversent le Rhin et progressent vers le nord afin de libérer les Pays-Bas, soumis à cinq longues années d’occupation. Dans chaque ville et village néerlandais où arrivaient les tanks canadiens, les habitants, fous de joie, faisaient la fête dans les rues. À leur retour au Canada, les personnes qui avaient pris part à la guerre de 1939 – 1945 ont été honorées su titre d’ « Anciens combattants » et elles ont obtenu la reconnaissance de tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes.

These twin buildings are located on Wellington Street in Ottawa. They overlook the Ottawa River and Quebec's Gatineau Hills. Their architecture, in particular their chateau style, copper roofs and stone facing, is in keeping with the Parliament Buildings, the old stone churches and other federal buildings in the vicinity. The architects were Messieurs Allward and Gouinlock. Work on the East Memorial Building began in 1949 and was completed in 1956. The West Memorial Building was completed in 1962.

Construction of the two edifices, originally called "Veterans Memorial Buildings", began following the Second World War. In addition to honouring those who served and those who died in that war, the buildings would also house, under one roof, the employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the associated Agencies, who initially were housed in several locations in Ottawa.

The Memorial Arch which connects the East and West Memorial Buildings, as they are now called, spans Lyon Street. Flowerbeds are maintained under the Arch and the area is illuminated at night. A marble relief sculpture, The Canadian Phalanx, stands under the arch.
