The cenotaph, which honours Lower Kootenay Band Warriors who served in the First and Second World Wars and Korean War, was erected near the Lower Kootenay Band cemetery. It consists of a 15,000 pounds boulder and a plaque which was built by Korean War Veterans. It had fallen into disrepair and was vandalized, but renovated in time for the 2019 Remembrance Day events.
