The Canadian Scottish Regiment Cenotaph was erected in memory of all ranks of The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's) who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. Originally, the cenotaph was a wooden cross that had been erected at Vimy Ridge during the First World War. It was brought back to Victoria by the 16th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force and installed in 1938, after plans for a fountain failed.
In 1951, it was replaced by the current stone cross mounted on a rectangular base that is mounted on a hexagonal base that is mounted on three hexagonal steps - all made of granite. The Canadian Scottish Regiment Vimy Ridge Cross was placed in the Bay Street Armoury.
