This monument was conceived jointly by the Brampton/Mississauga and District Labour Council (BMDLC), the City of Brampton and artists Rob Moir and Sally Lawrence to commemorate Union accomplishments, promote Health and Safety in the Workplace and celebrate work and community. It will be installed in the Flower City Campus on McLaughlin and Queen St. in Brampton.

After passing through a lovely gateway, the visitor will walk through a tree lined brick promenade towards the “Circle of Gratitude” before proceeding to the labyrinth that sits by a peaceful pond. In the centre of this circle is a brick pillar that displays silver roses for Brampton and golden sheaves of wheat for Mississauga. Copper leaves alluding to the famous Dale “autographed rose” say “thank you” in many different languages.  The spirit of collaboration for the greater good of the larger community has permeated the entire project and there have been manydonations of labour, materials and funds such as: bricks fromHanson Brick, pavers from Brampton Brick, labour from the CanadianMasonry School, polished and cut granite from Owen SoundLedgerock, as well as expertise from Candevcon, Engineer SeloToprak, Designer Sevvi Perez, Humber College LandscapeArchitect Harry Chang and Site Supervision and Installationby AECON Construction (to name a few).
