Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

On October 2, 2004, the canteen in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 16 was named in honour of Ernest Alvia “Smokey” Smith V.C. The Legion sign was updated to include a picture of Smoky that his wife, Ester, took of him before they were married.

Legion Branch 16 and the Ernest Alvia “Smokey” Smith V.C. Canteen closed in November 2016.
