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.

A stained glass window was dedicated to Captain Thomas George Beagley of the 14th Battalion (Royal Montreal Regiment) in the Church of the Ascension. The window depicts a knight praying at an altar before leaving for battle, his helmet and shield by his side; in front of him he holds his sword, the shape of the weapon echoing the symbol of his faith.

The Church of the Ascension became surplus and was put up for sale in 1988. The City of Montreal acquired the building in 1992 to relocate the local public library.
