The design was done by Linda Dicaire, Renowned Landscape Architect and VOLC volunteer. Among her celebrated commemorative works is Valiants Circle, a circular park near the National War Memorial in Ottawa honouring 14 Canadian figures — including Isaac Brock and Tecumseh, along with WWI and WWII war heroes and other notable public figures — with statues and testimonials. Bilingual and deeply committed to the project, Linda was an invaluable member of the VOLC team, helping communicate with French resources, hiring the landscape contractor, and following up on issues as construction progressed.
