Peace Park is dedicated to the 40,000 Canadian soldiers who bravely served in Afghanistan. A large parking lot provides access to an LAV III where you will have to walk in front of the granite plaque that bears the names of the 162 Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice. The view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence is stunning, and try to take a picture when the sun sets. The magnificent landscape makes this park a wonderful place for reflection.

PARC DE LA PAIX
Pour ceux et celles qui ont servi en Afghanistan
L’engagement du Canada en Afghanistan (de 2001 à 2014) constitue la plus longue guerre jamais menée par le pays. Il a donné lieu aux premiers combats importants des forces canadiennes depuis la guerre de Corée (de 1950 à 1953). Après les attaques terroristes de 2001 sur les États-Unis, le Canada se joint à la coalition internationale mise en place pour détruire le réseau terroriste Al-Qaïda et le régime des talibans qui l’abrite en Afghanistan. Plus de 40 000 membres des Forces armées canadiennes ont servi dans le cadre de cette campagne qui s’est étalée sur 12 années.
For those who served in Afghanistan
Canada’s engagement in Afghanistan (from 2001 to 2014) constitutes the longest contribution of all conflicts served by this country. Canada’s Armed Forces’ combat role in this mission has been most substantive since the Korean War (1950 to 1953). Following the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, Canada joined the established International Coalition to destroy the Al-Qaida terrorist cell and the harbouring Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Over 40 000 Canadian Armed Forces members served in this campaign which spanned over 12 years.
