There is currently no national monument in Ottawa to remember the vital work carried out by Canada's war workers, especially women. There is a tremendous monument in Pat Bayly Square in Ajax, Ontario to remember the bomb girls who filled shells at the D.I.L. plant in East Pickering during the Second World War.
However, this is memorial is local to Ajax residents. The public must know where to look to find it. There needs to be a more formal national equivalent in Ottawa to honour Canada’s war workers. London, England erected “Monument to the Women of World War II” located on Whitehall beside the Cenotaph at the end of Downing Street. It is a fitting, poignant reminder of the women who served on the home front in Britain.
