Inscription.
Unveiled on May 17, 2019, this pebble mosaic was created by 75 members of the Carleton Place community as a tribute to sexual assault victims.

Made in collaboration with Lanark County Interval House and Red Dress Productions, this monument aims to increase the public's understanding of sexual and gender-based violence.

The Countdown Project was launched in 2016 after the Women's Sexual Assualt Centre of Renfrew County invited Red Dress Productions to bring its vision into being.
