monument includes a list of names in random order of each police officer from Ontario that died while serving the public. As of 2008, 234 names were added to the wall. Constable John Fisk is the earliest name recorded on the memorial having drowned in Lake Ontario in 1804, after the vessel he was using to transport a prisoner sank during a storm. A similar memorial known as the Ontario Firefighter Memorial was also unveiled in 2005, honouring firefighters who died while serving the public. The memorial portrays a firefighter in the midst of rescuing a child. The memorial was also designed by Puchta, and included a red plinth shaped like a Maltese Cross, the international symbol for firefighting; and a list of firefighters who died on duty. The Notre Place monument is a monument that commemorates the Franco-Ontarian community as well as the contributions the francophone community made to Ontario. The monument was first proposed in 2015. Work on the monument began on 25 September 2017, on Franco-Ontarian day, and was unveiled on the same day the following year. The stainless steel columns were designed to commemorate Franco-Ontarian contributions in the province's forestry industry, while the surrounding public square was intended to be used as a gathering space. The name of the monument, Notre Place, is a reference to song from Paul Demers and François Dubé. The name of the monument, and the Franco-Ontarian flag is also present on the stoned wall bench that surrounds most of the square. Designed by the architectural firm Brooke McIlroy, the cost to construct the monument was approximate C$900,000.
