Erected on behalf of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 110, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The cenotaph was originally placed by a group of veterans who were members of the Royal Canadian Legion. The cement pad was built using a borrowed cement mixer, a lot of hard work and a combination of purchased cement and donated gravel/sand. There is only one member still alive and he believes the cost was between $3500 and $8500 for the cenotaph itself. Consecration of the memorial was carried out by a local parish priest in 1976. We have estimated that the cenotaph weighs approximately 20,000 lbs.
