Federal Land Chosen for Memorial to Victims of Communism
TORONTO, August 12, 2010—The Canadian memorial to victims of Communism will be located on a piece of land in the Garden of the Provinces and Territories in Ottawa. The land has been allocated to Tribute to Liberty for the Memorial to Victims of Totalitarian Communism – Canada, a Land of Refuge by the National Capital Commission (NCC).
A design for the memorial will be chosen through a national design competition planned for 2011.
Alide Forstmanis, Tribute to Liberty board chair says she is happy with the result of the site selection process. “The central location and the beauty of the site are fitting for this memorial. We are pleased with the land the NCC has found for us.”
Mrs. Forstmanis says the memorial will “commemorate the losses and hardships of all those who suffered under Communism, and will pay tribute to Canada which was and is a land of refuge for those who seek liberty.”
Tribute to Liberty is a registered charity and can issue tax receipts for donations to the Memorial to Victims of Totalitarian Communism – Canada, a Land of Refuge. Tribute to Liberty’s grassroots fundraising campaign, the Pathway to Liberty, allows donors to tell a story of a victim of Communism or make a dedication with their donation. The campaign is online at www.tributetoliberty.ca.

Dear Friends and Supporters of Tribute to Liberty and the Memorial to Victims of Totalitarian Communism,
Tribute to Liberty received some excellent news today. We are now a registered charity and can issue tax receipts for donations to the Memorial to Victims of Totalitarian Communism – Canada, a Land of Refuge to be built in Ottawa. Please see the attached press release.
We know many of you have been waiting to donate until we had charitable status. Now that we are able to issue tax receipts we hope you will donate to this important cause. We have a wonderful campaign, The Pathway to Liberty, where you can tell a story of a victim of Communism or make a dedication with your donation: http://www.tributetoliberty.ca/campaign.html
We really need your donations now to continue with the process of building the memorial. We will be holding a national design competition; however, before we can launch the competition we need to have a significant amount of funding in place. This is a requirement of the National Capital Commission (NCC). We work with the NCC and must meet its policy guidelines for building a memorial on federal land. If you are planning to donate to this project please do so as soon as possible. If you would like any information on the project please do not hesitate to contact myself or Carolyn. A donation form is attached for your convenience, and you can also donate online via paypal: http://www.tributetoliberty.ca/contribute.html
