Valiants Memorial, Military monument in downtown Ottawa, Canada

The Valiants Memorial (French: Monument aux Valeureux) consists of nine life-sized busts and five full statues by Marlene Hilton Moore and John McEwen, set around the Sappers Staircase at the northeastern corner of Confederation Square. The staircase wall bears a quotation from Virgil's Aeneid: "Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo."

The memorial was unveiled in 2006 by Governor General Michaëlle Jean and honors military figures spanning different periods of Canadian history. The figures represented come from times ranging from the French colonial era through the World Wars.

The fourteen figures are grouped by conflict, from the French Regime through the Second World War. Among them are Joseph Brant, Laura Secord, Georgina Pope and Andrew Mynarski, each named on the monument. The staircase wall carries Virgil's line from the Aeneid: "Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo".

The memorial occupies the Sappers Staircase, an underpass at the northeastern corner of Confederation Square beside the National War Memorial. The nine busts and five statues stand at street level around the stairwell, so they can be viewed without entering the passage. The staircase wall carries the Virgil quotation in Latin.

The memorial bears a Latin inscription from Virgil's Aeneid stating that no day will erase these figures from the memory of time. This classical phrase connects ancient literature with contemporary commemoration in a poignant way.
