The monument bears the names of thousands of Canadian soldiers who died in the First World War.
Veterans Affairs Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor released a statement Wednesday condemning the vandalism.

“I strongly condemn this and all reprehensible acts of vandalism against cenotaphs, war memorials and other landmarks built to remember and honour the sacrifices made by Canadians in the name of peace.”
