A national design competition is underway for a new Ottawa monument that will honour the contribution of Canada’s building trades.
The monument, to be built on a 100-square-metre site in Major’s Hill Park, is sponsored by Canada’s Building Trades Unions, a national association that represents more than half a million Canadian workers in the building, construction, fabrication and maintenance industries.
The monument will highlight the significance and impact of the construction industry in Canada. It will also serve as a focal point to remember construction workers killed or injured on the job.
The design competition, open to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents, has two phases. The first, which began Tuesday, gives teams until June 18 to submit their credentials and examples of their work.
A jury of artists, design professionals and construction trades representatives will select a minimum of three finalists by late June, who will be commissioned to create a detailed project plan and design that is to be presented to the jury on Oct. 1, 2015. The winning team will be notified later that month.
The final design will be made public about a year from now, with an unveiling ceremony of the completed monument scheduled for May 2017, in time for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.
“This landmark work of art will offer a unique and inspiring place for workers, visitors and residents alike . . . to gather and reflect,” says the monument’s request-for-qualifications document.
The minimum budget for the project — including design, fabrication, construction and installation — will be $660,000 plus taxes. The CBTU has raised almost all of the money from its members.
The site in Major’s Hill Park is owned by the National Capital Commission and is on the NCC’s inventory of potential commemorative sites. It’s large enough to accommodate a medium-scale monument, the NCC says.
It also provides enough space for ceremonies, notably the annual National Day of Mourning on April 28, which commemorates workers killed or injured in the workplace.
