On April 2, 1922, at St. John the Evangelist (Garrison Church), a tablet was dedicated to the memory of ten officers of the Royal Canadian Dragoons who lost their lives in the First World War. The tablet was unveiled by Major-General V.A.S. Williams and dedicated by Reverend MacLean.

St. John the Evangelist (Garrison Church) was located at the corner of Portland and Wellington Streets. The church was filled with row after row of smartly uniformed soldiers who always left the church before the rest of the congregation. By 1963, the building needed serious repairs and it was decided to demolish the building. It was replaced by a modern building that served the congregation until 1985 when the church property was sold.
