Cenotaph

The Memorial, that consists of a rock cairn and brass plaque, was originally erected and dedicated by the Royal Canadian Legion West Smoky Branch No. 244 in 1992.  The Plaque was updated to include all of the young serviceman who lost their lives in WWI and WWII and re-dedicated during  a special "Fallen Heroes Event" in 2019.  Inside the Legion building is a "Wall of Remembrance" where a local couple, Earl and Allie Weegar,  had acquired and framed pictures complete with name plates of many of the  young men and women from the Bezanson area who had enlised in WWI and WWII.  Those for whom a picture could not be found were honoured with a brass name plate.  Another wall, the "Wall of Honour"  holds the "Fallen Heroes Memorials" that were unveiled during the same event that the cairn was re-dedicated.  The Memorials, that honour the young men who lost their lives in WWI and WWII, include a picture, a brief biography of their short lives and a picture of the area where they lost their lives.  The project was undertaken as a partnership with the Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation.
