Miners Memorial

The Miners Memorial, situated at the entrance to the Museum of Northern History, is a stunningly beautiful monument that pays tribute to the miners and the industry that built Kirkland Lake.

The monument is a 40 tonne, 32-foot high black granite abstraction of a head frame surrounded by the life size figures of five miners at work underground. Created by artists Sally Lawrence and Rob Moir, it is designed to honour the workers who toiled underground, and mourn those who gave their lives in the mines of Kirkland Lake.
