                 The Map of Ireland was kindly donated to the Monument Committee in 2007 by Ordinance Survey Ireland (OSI) Dublin for specific use on the Ireland Monument in Vancouver.The committee is very grateful to OSI in Dublin for this kind gesture.

The Map featuring all 32 counties and major cities of Ireland can be a constant reminder to those of Irish heritage of their former homeland who visit the completed Monument.

Adjacent to the Map, the Dove of Peace flies over the Maple Leaf of Canada and the Presidential Flag of Ireland in recognition of the continuous Peace and Friendship that exists between both countries. All artwork has been carefully selected to be fully recognizable when engraved on the granite surface.
