Lingua Aqua — Mother Language Monument

MLLWS

Lingua Aqua is Canada's first mother language monument, rooted in Surrey. It stands as a public reminder that languages are not only spoken — they are places, water, and memory.

The monument sits in the same civic landscape as the Mother Language Festival: a park, a city, and a community that chose to put mother tongues in stone and in celebration.
