This memorial consists of honour roll plaques, erected in grateful remembrance by the teachers and students of the North Toronto Collegiate Institute. This Riverdale Collegiate Institute’s five memorials lists only those students who died in the First and Second World War, displayed in the atrium addition (built in the 1990s) and incorporates the original school’s façade. The last two plaques (D & E) depict individual black and white photographs arranged in seven columns, followed by a name.
