Memorial Pond is dedicated to those who gave their lives in service to Canada in time of war and peacekeeping. It was erected by the Saanich Peninsula Memorial Park Society in 2001.

In November 2009, updates by the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 37 and the Army Navy Air Force Unit 302 included a fountain and lighting. The funds for the "Veteran and Child" statue were raised by Reg Teeney, who worked together with sculptor Nathan Scott to design the statue. It depicts local Veteran Jim Lang looking upon a small child, commemorating the sacrifice of the Veteran's youth to protect future generations.

THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD
