Swissair 111 Memorial, Whalesback Nova Scotia Canada

this is the memorial site for the men, women, and children lost in the Swissair 111 disaster on the 2nd of September 1998, off the coast at Whalesback Nova Scotia Canada
Two memorials to those who died on the crash have been established by the Government of Canada. One is to the east of the crash site at The Whalesback, a promontory one kilometre (0.6 mile) north of Peggys Cove. The second memorial is a more private but much larger commemoration located west of the crash site near Bayswater Beach Provincial Park on the Aspotogan Peninsula in Bayswater. Here, the unidentified remains of the victims are interred. A fund was established to fund maintenance of the memorials and the government passed an act to recognize them.
