Dedicated on 17 September 1995, this memorial was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 33, and is dedicated to the local veterans of the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and peacekeeping duties. The Memorial is erected on the former Legion Building grounds. The former legion was destroyed by a fire in 1979. A new Legion was later re-built at another location in Placentia.
