Originally built to commemorate the First World War, in 1982 it was rededicated to include the Second World War and the Korean War. In 2000, the Canadian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was added to symbolize the sacrifice made by every Canadian who has died or may yet die for their country.
4 Elgin St (Wellington St) Ottawa ON K1N 9N6 Canada
Canada's biggest and most famous cenotaph honoring armed forces who passed away in battle; next to it is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Every Remembrance Day the square around it is packed!
You are free to take pictures, but please don't climb on the tomb or the statues .
During the summer months you can see military guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier. They are there from 9am to 5pm and change the guards every hour on the hour.
Makes you feel grateful to all those who fought and died for your freedom.

Great place for a walk but go to byward market first and have a few beers!! Ambiance is great! - Gordon Berry
Has some great stores, but in no way different or unique from any other mall. Hopefully the renovations will help make it stand out far more in the future... - Xander S
