Honouring the victims of Flight PS752
City staff are working with the community to create a memorial dedicated to the 176 lives lost in the tragic downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
On January 8, 2020, Flight PS752 was shot down shortly after taking off from Tehran by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. Fifty-five Canadian citizens and 30 Canadian permanent residents were among the 176 people killed in this tragedy. Seven of the victims were residents of the North Shore.
In early 2023, members and advisors to the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims formed a Steering Committee to support the project and provide guidance to City.
The Flight PS752 Memorial will serve as a lasting tribute to all those who lost their lives, offering a space for reflection, remembrance, and collective healing.
About the Memorial
The permanent Flight PS752 Memorial will be located in Jack Loucks Court in Lower Lonsdale. The memorial’s thoughtful placement ensures it will be both visible and accessible, in a space that encourages learning, gathering, and quiet reflection.
About the Advisory Panel
To ensure the memorial reflects the values and aspirations of our community, we are forming an Advisory Panel that will help guide the memorial design process. The panel will participate in the selection of the memorial design team through a competitive process and provide input into the development of the design.
In the Spring/Summer 2026, members of the community will be invited to apply for the Advisory Panel, which will include up to five voting members, including:
- At least one family member or representative of a Flight PS752 victim; and
- At least one architect, landscape architect, artist, cultural professional, or scholar
For more details on the Advisory Panel’s full mandate, please refer to the Flight PS752 Memorial Advisory Panel Terms of Reference.
