Construction begins on LGBTQ2S+ national monument in Ottawa

A monument named "Thunderhead" will commemorate historic discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community by the Canadian government and society.
The LGBT Purge Fund funded the monument, inspired by Anishinaabe teachings linking thunderheads with renewal, aiming to rectify past wrongs.
The fund addresses the LGBT Purge, a discriminatory period in Canada from 1950s to mid-1990s targeting LGBTQ members of the military, RCMP, and public service.
