Legacy
In 2013, as a part of the project Monument: Italian Canadian War Stories of the Columbus Centre in Toronto, funded by Villa Charities Inc. and Citizenship and Immigration Canada, artist Harley Valentine created a monument recognizing the internments called Riflessi: Italian Canadian Internment Memorial. The main statue is composed of profiles representing an internee family of Italian Canadians—a father, a pregnant mother, and a child—that combine to form a single figure in mirror polished stainless steel.
