Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

Constructed by Mrs. M. Hollohan in honour of the war dead of Bonne Bay during the First World War, this memorial was later expanded to include a plaque to the local war dead of the Second World War.

In October 18, 2018, the Veteran’s Memorial Garden Committee sought input from the community as to what they would like to see in the Veteran’s Memorial Garden. The committee had most, if not all, of the work done by local contractors and/or volunteers in the area. By 2018, they raised over $20,000.00 with the support of many individuals and groups.
