[Ottawa] : Veterans Affairs Canada, 2013. iii, 52 p. : fig., graphs, tables. Issued also in French under title: Évaluation du Programme d'entretien des monuments commémoratifs, des cimetières, et des sépultures. "Final: February 2013." Includes bibliographical references. In accordance with the Veterans Affairs Canada Evaluation Plan (2011-2016) approved by the Departmental Evaluation Committee, the Audit and Evaluation Division was tasked with conducting the evaluation of the Memorials and Cemetery/Grave Maintenance Program. The Memorials and Cemetery/Grave Maintenance Program preserves the memory of deceased Canadians who served their country during war and peace by maintaining symbols of remembrance in perpetuity. This includes responsibility for the 14 memorials to the First and Second World Wars in Europe, the graves of Canadian war dead all over the world, the graves of Veterans and some others buried at the expense of Canada located throughout the world, and two departmental Veterans’ cemeteries in Canada. Two unique memorials to those who died in service to Canada, the Books of Remembrance and the Canadian Virtual War Memorial (CVWM) are also maintained through this program. The evaluation examined the relevance, effectiveness/success, efficiency and economy of the program, and was conducted in accordance with Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) requirements and guidance material. This evaluation was based on a non-experimental design and the evaluation’s findings and conclusions are based on the analysis of multiple lines of qualitative and quantitative evidence. gccst War memorials gccst Maintenance gccst Program assessment Canada.
