National Capital Commission
Canada

The monuments and commemorations found in Canada's Capital Region reflect the diverse experiences of Canadians. As you explore the region, you'll see works by native Canadians from across the country, works commemorating our history, our achievements, and works honouring Canadian heroes of yesterday and today.

There is a great deal of public art in the Capital, including commemorations. Public art, be it a sculpture, bas-relief, mural or other, is art that is accessible to the public and located in public spaces, usually outdoors.

Our publication Street smART is your key to some of Canada's Capital Region's undiscovered treasures, as well as prominent commemorations and public art. It will help you find out what Canadian artists have done and see the mark they have made in the region.
