“It is not only a monument for LGBT Purge survivors, but for every 2SLGBTQI+ person in Canada who has experienced discrimination and exclusion because of who they are, who they love and how they express themselves ”
The unique design for this monument required the versatility, cost-efficiency, and engineered strength that Cloudcrete offers. With large vertical panels and organic shaped cutouts, it’s essential that this piece maintain its form and is able to withstand the elements in its permanent outdoor home.
This monument, and its words, were developed with input from thousands of 2SLGBTQI+ community members. The vision for the monument was first guided by the monument’s Advisory Committee and Indigenous Circle. The interpretive content drew on centuries of community stories, diverse expertise and experience and collaboration with the monument’s Education and Interpretation Committee.
