Other

This plaque is part of a campaign started in 2020 by the Royal United Services Institute of Regina, a local organization of civilians and retired military personnel, to install a series of twelve commemorative plaques around the cenotaph. It was unveiled on November 10, 2024. The plaques explain Canada's wartime history.

The 1918 Armistice Plaque commemorates that at 6:30 a.m. on 11 November 1918, a message reaches Canadian Corps Headquarters that an armistice will be declared at 11:00 a.m. The advance of troops continues forward regardless, reaching almost eight kilometers to the northeast of Mons, when the armistice to end the First World War is signed and takes effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
