A painting honouring Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the soldier who was murdered at the War Memorial last month, will help raise money for his five-year-old son Marcus.
The original painting, called Honouring My Father, by local artist Katerina Mertikas was unveiled Monday in the mayor's boardroom at City Hall.
Mayor Jim Watson said thousands of children visit the his office each year.
"This will be an opportunity for me to talk about Cpl. Cirillo," Watson said.
A gunman killed Cirillo while he guarded the War Memorial on Oct. 22.
Mertikas was deeply moved by the tragedy and she was compelled to pick up her brush.
"It just came to me, as a vision, to do this," Mertikas said.
Many of Mertikas's artworks depict children, so when she was painting she decided she must include the young boy in the piece.
A enhanced print will also hang in Jean Pigott Place on the first floor of City Hall.
Prints of the painting are $124 and are available through Koyman Galleries. All profits will be donated to the trust fund for Marcus Cirillo.
There were already 500 prints sold as of Monday.

Man 'fluffed off' trying to return Hill pass

A Nepean man says he was surprised by the casual response from Parliament Hill after he tried to return a House of Commons-issue security pass he found on the street.
Denis Chretien said he was "fluffed off" when he called Parliament Hill to report a security pass and magnetic card he found Wednesday morning.
"I've got probably access to anywhere on Parliament Hill right now," he said.
Chretien, a plow operator for a private snow removal company, found the passes on on Walkley Rd., in the east end. It looks like the cards broke off a lanyard when their owner was getting into a car, he said.
When Chretien called the phone number on the card, a man told him to "just put it in the mail" and then hung up, he said.
Given the security concerns after the October shooting at the National War Memorial and on Parliament Hill, Chretien said he was taken aback by the cavalier response.
"After what happened, you know ... Whoa!"
Parliament's communications director Heather Bradley confirmed the advice Chretien got to put it in the mail was the right policy.
"If somebody finds a card, they should read the back and do as the back says," Bradley said.
Fine print on the pass is the property of the House of Commons and lists its mailing address and phone number.
Still, Chretien said he's reluctant to mail it back.
"I don't want to put it in the mailbox, because... what the hell?" he said.
Chretien said he could only imagine what might happen if the security passes fell into the wrong hands.
It's possible the magnetic card had already been cancelled after the owner discovered he had lost it.
"You're probably looking at 50-50," Chretien said, guessing at the odds it had been de-activated.
The pass belongs to a government business analyst with a Queen St. office, according to GEDS, the online federal government employee directory.
It's a downtown high-rise building near the World Exchange Plaza. There are no MPs' offices there, but it does have some House of Commons committee rooms, civil servants' offices, the research bureaus for the three main parties and a parliamentary gym.
The pass is signed by the cardholder and by House of Commons Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers.
Vickers made news around the world in October when he shot Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the gunman who shot an unarmed soldier at the war memorial before storming Parliament's Centre Block.
Chretien quipped that Vickers' sudden hero status might make the pass a collectible.
"I even have the sergeant-at-arms' autograph on this," Chretien said. "I wonder if I can put this on eBay."

FREDERICTON -- Kevin Vickers, the former sergeant-at-arms in Parliament, has been named a recipient of the Order of New Brunswick for his role in stopping a shooting spree by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau last fall.
Vickers stopped the gunman in the House of Commons last October shortly after Zehaf-Bibeau killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was standing guard at the National War Memorial, and rushed into the building with his rifle.
Premier Brian Gallant also named Camille Albert, an entrepreneur; Sister Arleen Brawley, for her work in addictions; Gary Gould, for his work with off-reserve aboriginal people; Brent Hawkes, for his leadership in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights; and photographer Thaddeus Holownia.
Also named were Carol Loughrey, for supporting women in business; Sister Adele Morin, for her work on behalf of children with intellectual disabilities; Dr. Rejean Thomas, a physician and a missionary; and Marlene Unger for her human rights, social justice and education work.
The Order of New Brunswick was established in 2000 to recognize individuals who demonstrate a high level of excellence and achievement in their particular field.
A ceremony to present this year's recipients with their awards will be held at Government House in Fredericton on Nov. 4.

WARMINGTON: Don't rewrite history on terror attacks, Trudeau

A mountie is overcome and takes a knee during a memorial service at the National War Memorial during the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 22, 2014 attacks on Parliament Hill and at the Cenotaph. The event honoured the sacrifices of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo, and the bravery of the first responders. Wayne Cuddington / Postmedia file
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new mandate does not include rewriting the history of our fallen troops.
Or soften the truth of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo, both killed in the line of duty.
“Five years ago today, a senseless attack at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill in Ottawa claimed the life of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, a sentry at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and injured several others,” Trudeau said in his first official statement since winning a minority parliament in the country’s 43rd election the day before.
“On this solemn anniversary, we remember Corporal Cirillo, along with Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent who was killed two days earlier in a separate attack in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.”
It also praised men and women in uniform and first responders while being “reminded of the responsibility we all share to denounce hatred and promote inclusion in our communities.”

The only people hating were the cowardly traitors who gutlessly murdered our men.
Senseless attack?
These were jihadist attacks.

Family of Quebec soldier killed by Islamist extremist reaches out to killer's kin
MALCOLM: The Liberal government just doesn't take security and counter-terrorism seriously
ISIS sympathizer Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a convert to radical Islam, said in a video “Lord accept from me and peace be upon you and upon the Mujahedin. May Allah curse you,” and “Canada’s officially become one of our enemies by fighting and bombing us and creating a lot of terror in our countries and killing us and killing our innocents” and “so, just aiming to hit some soldiers just to show that you’re not even safe in your own land, and you gotta be careful.“
Vincent was run down by a convert to radical Islam named Martin (Ahmad) Couture-Rouleau who on social media wrote terrorist screeds, including “Allah has promised the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the disbelievers the fire of hell . . . Allah has cursed them, and for them is an enduring punishment.”
Not routine attacks. Acts of war.
Trudeau was not the only leader to water it all down. Many did similar.
But Premier Doug Ford whose tweet captured the spirit of what transpired Oct. 20 and 22nd, 2014: “@fordnation: We will never forget Cpl Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent, who were killed 5 years ago, targeted for serving our country in uniform. We are forever grateful to our brave men and women who sacrifice every day to protect our way of life.”
The truth. Fallen soldiers Vincent and Cirillo were murdered in sneak ambushes by enemy combatants in a holy war against Canada fighting against the Islamic state in Afghanistan and Syria.
Trudeau should tell the truth: Cirillo and Vincent were taken out in Islamic terror attacks.
