Workers' Memorials in Kingston

 Back to Index

Memorial Water Fountain
This monument is dedicated to the memory of an estimated 1,000 Irish labourers who died during the building of the Rideau Canal. It is located in Confederation Park on the Kingston waterfront directly across from historical City Hall.
Celtic Cross - Rideau Canal Workers' Monument
This celtic cross carved out of grey granite stands in memory of more than 1000 labourers who died from malaria and occupational accidents between 1826 and 1832 during the building of the Rideau Canal. The monument is located at the south end of Doug Fluhrer Park along the Cataraqui River (just off the unpaved Wellington St. extension with Bay Street at one end and Cataraqui Street on the other).
Rideau Canal Workers' Monument
This plaque stands in recognition of the many French Canadians and recently arrived immigrants, notably Irish, Scottish and British who provided crucial labour in the building of the Rideau Canal. Many died as a result of dangerous working conditions, malaria and other diseases. The plaque is located at Kingston Mills Lock (located on Kingston Mill Rd. that runs off of Montreal St. north of the 401).
