Peace Arch

This unfortified boundary line between the Dominion of Canada and the United States of America was meant to quicken remembrance of more than a century-old friendship between the two countries as a lesson of peace to all nations. It also commemorated one hundred and fifty years of peace, 1814 - 1964, between Canada and the United States of America, marked by the signing of the Columbia River Treaty on September 16th, 1964, at this international peace arch park by President Lyndon B. Johnson of the United States and Prime Minister the Right Honorable Lester B. Pearson, P. C., of Canada, and was erected and dedicated by Kiwanis International on November 28, 1965, to continued peace and goodwill between the peoples of Canada and the United States.
