The Salmo Community Memorial Church was built in 1952. Construction commenced in the summer of 1949 and it was completed by Christmas 1952. The Salmo Ladies’ Aid initiated the drive and raised the first funds as early as 1937.
Not only was it constructed as a place to worship, but its was dedicated to the memory of local men who were killed in the Second World War. Every year on the Sunday before Remembrance Day, the Honour Roll of fallen soldiers from Salmo Valley is read. The names and photos of these young men can be seen in the church on the Remembrance Wall.
