100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy, Naval monument in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
The bronze sculpture presents a Canadian sailor embracing his daughter with their dog upon returning from deployment, set upon a dark marble plinth.
The monument opened on May 4, 2010, marking the centennial celebration of the Royal Canadian Navy establishment through a CA$150,000 fundraising campaign.
The memorial incorporates two stone markers displaying the Navy motto 'Parati vero parati' and the history of Canadian naval service since 1910.
Visitors can purchase commemorative stones placed around the monument, with proceeds supporting the Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre.
The monument features individual vessel plaques on three sides of the plinth, with pewter replica statues available for collectors.
