If you're not familiar with Greater Moncton (Moncton/Dieppe/Riverview), I strongly recommend using the RCMP Memorial as a starting point for your visit. Very easy to locate, and with plenty of street parking, this is a beautiful and well created memorial to our most recent fallen Police Officers. There has been six Police Officers tragically killed in the line of duty in the history of our city, a sad reality, and this monument is specifically for three Police Officers killed during a mass shooting in our city on June 4th., 2014. These Officers were members of Codiac RCMP, while the other fallen Officers were members of The Moncton Police Force (Replaced by the RCMP). From here, you are now on a beautiful riverfront walking trail, part of the TransCanada Trail, and one block away from Moncton's Main Street with it's many restaurants, night clubs, stores, banks, theatre, etc. Every city has its history, good and bad, and from here we learn and grow.

Reviewed By annemarieh905 - Barrie, Canada
We had a wonderful time in Huntsville looking at the stores and purchasing items at the various stores and did a walk about looking at the sculpture and outdoor wall murals and reading the signage about the paintings. We didn't see all of them, but did enjoy what we did see. The day was sunny and relatively warm. A glorious day - we would like to visit it again when it's a little warmer...maybe in July.
6. Terry Fox Monument

Reviewed By SnowbirdOntario
The Terry Fox Monument is a beautiful tribute to a real Canadian hero. He continues to be an inspiration to generations of Canadians. As September marks the annual Terry Fox runs throughout Canada and the world for Cancer Research, it was especially fitting that we dropped by the monument on our visit to Thunder Bay. There was a lot of care and attention given here, even to the roadway into the monument area. It affords an excellent view of Thunder Bay and Lake Superior beyond. The monument itself is very special and the plaque detailing the Terry Fox story is important for all to read.

Ron Barid's kinetic sculpture on the shore of Kempenfelt Bay has 16 kinetic quills, which rock back and forth when the wind blows. The sculpture serves as a focal point on Barrie's waterfront and provides a navigational aid to both travellers and residents alike.

This is such a beautiful Memorial. The detail in the statue is incredible and so beautiful. This was such a horrible tragedy so it's very heavy to visit the site, but there are beautiful spots throughout the area with information on what happened along with a list of those who died so horribly that day.
