Honouring Our Heroes Together
Discover the Have You Seen My Son memorial project that showcases unique and poignant stories of soldiers from Edmonton, Alberta, that never came home.
For many families of servicemen during the First and Second World War, their loved ones never did come home and the question of what happened, how they died and where they are, remain unanswered.
Inspired by contemporary family adverts seeking loved ones lost in the wars, the project aims to rekindle Edmonton’s connection to its wartime history by bringing the voice back to the heartbroken families.
