*Links:

The Website of the Dutch Canadian Veterans Memorial opens with a splash page showing the 18-bell automatic chime.  The Memorial page begins with a drawing of the chime tower as it was planned.  Further down the page is an extensive set of thumbnail photos of the various stages of construction of the Memorial.  Each thumbnail is linked to a larger photo (both size-wise and picture-wise) that will open in a separate browser window with a descriptive caption.  Collectively they provide excellent details of what's involved in this project in terms of both bells and structure.

A news article about the project plans, as of May 2006 (but you'll have to pay to read it!).

From the city E-services & Maps page, call up an interactive city map to find Victoria Park or any address.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Eijsbouts bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.

Ranking among all North American chimes by size (number of bells).
