The Chetwynd Cenotaph was erected to remember all those who have served in war. The property was donated to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 258 by Mrs. Don Titus, and the Ladies Auxiliary commissioned Horst Kedding to build the cenotaph. Once completed, the Ladies Auxiliary donated the cenotaph to the Legion.
The date the cenotaph was completed is unknown, but there is documentation that it was there in 1971 and three birch trees were planted by it that year.
