Peace Arch — Surrey, BC - War of 1812 on Waymarking.com

People from both Canada and the United States wanted to honour the century of peace that followed the signing of the Treaty of Ghent bringing to a close the War of 1812.

In 1915 the concept of an international park was brought forward. From this "[t]he father of the Peace Arch was Samuel Hill of Seattle, who saw this as a monument to the concord between the United States and Canada".

The Peace Arch was finished and dedicated on September 6th, 1921 and has remained a symbol of the peace between these nations ever since.
