Silent Witness Memorial

On the morning of December 12, 1985 an Arrow Air DC-8 carrying a crew of 8 and 248 passengers, stalled, crashed and burned, killing all aboard in the deadliest aviation accident on Canadian soil.

 

At the crash site, 'The Silent Witness Memorial' statue, depicts an American soldier holding the hands of a boy and girl. The children are each holding an olive branch , indicative of the peacekeeping mission of the 101st Airborne Division on the Sinai Peninsula.
