Sarnia’s memorial plaza reopens after $165K redesign to honor workers lost to job-related diseases.
A simplified memorial plaza project in Sarnia’s Centennial Park is set to begin within two weeks, with construction expected to take about two months and cost $165,000—down from $725,000.
The redesign avoids deep excavation to protect capped contaminated soil from a 2014–2017 cleanup, using shallow foundations and a concrete base for benches, plaques, lighting, and a pergola.
The project restores a 1990s sculpture by Shawn McKnight symbolizing workers lost to occupational diseases like asbestosis and mesothelioma, with community fundraising supplementing a $150,000 city contribution.
The April 28 Day of Mourning event is expected to return, though winter weather may delay the opening.
