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.

Veterans Memorial, including the site plan and landscaping, was designed by Toronto artist, Kari Myllymaki. He also coordinated the fabrication and construction. It was dedicated by district Legion Padre Alfred Woolcock on September 20, 1986.

The three sided pyramid is actually a tetrahedron, made of polished pink Laurentian granite weighing 16,000 pounds. It rests atop a base of rough hewn granite. Rising out of the rockery, eliciting images of struggle, toil and despair, evolves a pure shining form symbolizing hope, goodness, peace and rest.
