The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has issued an open call for bids to refurbish of the National War Memorial in St. John’s.
The National War Memorial was unveiled July 1, 1924, to commemorate the sacrifices of those who have served in numerous conflicts, and is one of only two national war memorials in Canada. The memorial has been the site of annual Remembrance Day and Memorial Day ceremonies, and is visited daily by local residents and visitors.
The scope of work for the project includes the restoration of the existing granite monument; replacement of concrete stairs; provision of new concrete walkways, steps, curbs and metal railings; provision of new and upgraded electrical lighting; and tree, shrub and perennial planting. Improving accessibility is also a key aspect of the restoration project.
