A symbolic reminder of the French culture to the Canadian identity
The original Pierre Dugua de Mons monument is located at Fort Anne National Historic Site of Canada in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, and was created by artist Hamilton MacCarthy in the early 1900s.
A gift from Parks Canada to Québec City for its 400th anniversary, the copy of the Pierre Dugua de Mons monument was executed by the Atelier du bronze d'Inverness. It was inaugurated on the Plains of Abraham on July 3, 2007.
The presence of the Dugua de Mons bust in Québec City is a symbolic reminder of the importance of French culture to the Canadian identity.
