OTTAWA, April 17, 2012 — The Animals in War Dedication Committee is pleased to announce the official launch of our website.
www.aiwdedication.ca is an interactive website, easy to navigate and designed to keep its visitors up to date on AIW Dedication progress. The site also enables people to make a donation online and follow the progress of funds raised. These funds will go towards the creation and maintenance of the Dedication, which will be located in Confederation Park in Ottawa, just steps from The Boer War Memorial. The Dedication unveiling is tentatively set for October 2012.
The creation of the AIW website would not be possible without the generous donation of time and services provided by Canadian company, Incognito Software Inc. www.incognito.com. Incognito Software Inc. is a global provider of broadband software provisioning and activation solutions that help monetize Internet Protocol based subscriber and commercial services.
Information Designer, Ada Fu and Web Developer, Andrew Thong from Incognito applied their considerable expertise to the site, in collaboration with AIW Committee member Shalindhi Perera, who developed the content.
“Incognito has always been an active supporter of community causes. As an animal lover myself, I am proud to support this Dedication, honouring animals that have served and sacrificed their lives in human conflicts,” said Stephane Bourque, President and CEO at Incognito Software Inc.
www.aiwdedication.ca will serve as a valuable resource for everyone to learn more about our courageous war animals and the vital role they played in military history.
The Animals in War Dedication is a series of highly detailed 2-inch bas relief plaques depicting animals in war from around the world. The Dedication unveiling is tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2012.
Total cost required is $147,000 with a deadline of July 2012 for funding to be in place.
