This is a dedication page for those who have lost their lives through violence against women in our communities and beyond.

Women’s Monument/
Monument des femmes

The Women’s Monument created to remember, honour, and grieve local women of Renfrew County who have been murdered by men was unveiled in Petawawa in 2012.

The monument was designed by Cormac Artist and Blacksmith Lydia Vanderstaal and Mary Crnkovich the owner and operator of Touch Stone Masonry in Killaloe. Vanderstaal was honoured to be chosen to work on the Monument because of her connection to the Renfrew County Committee for Abused Women.

The monument is made of three steel sculptures of women, each 8 feet high and standing stone serves as the background for the monument.

Situated along the Emerald Necklace Trail between Algonquin and Harry Streets in Petawawa, the site is within view of the rapids on the Petawawa River.
