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.

River Bourgeois cenotaph was built in 1954. In 2008-9, a Veterans memorial wall was added. The location is now known as Parcel Heritage.
