Kirkland Lake Miners' Memorial, Mining memorial in Kirkland Lake, Canada

The Kirkland Lake Miners' Memorial is a 10-metre-tall (33 ft), 40-tonne black granite abstraction of a mine head frame. Its bronze figures were modelled on real local miners, and the surrounding park has a lawn and picnic tables.

The memorial was completed in 1994 and honors more than 300 miners who lost their lives in local mines since 1914. Its construction marked recognition of mining as the founding element of this northern community.

The five bronze figures show workers in different underground positions and reflect the importance of mining to the founding of this northern community. The memorial tells through these depictions the daily reality of the people who built this region.

The memorial stands on the former property of mine owner Harry Oakes, on the site of a former bridge at the town's edge, so it is seen by everyone entering Kirkland Lake. A lawn and picnic tables surround the monument, and the bronze figures and authentic equipment can be examined up close.

The memorial incorporates authentic equipment from local mines, including stone bolts and machinery donated by mining companies and workers. These original objects come directly from mining operations and give the site special authenticity.
