Veterans Way Memorial Park was dedicated on September 27, 2015 and began with a field concert performed by the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces. The ceremony was well attended by local dignitaries, special guests and Veterans representing the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada, Provincial and Zone Command officers of the Royal Canadian Legion and the NATO Veterans Organization of Canada along with retired and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, their families and friends.
The park is a special site of remembrance and reflection that was created to honour all those that served and continue to serve in the Canadian, British and United States of America Armed Forces. The concept for a Veterans Way Memorial Park was brought to the attention of North Grenville Municipal Council through a site and business plan that was developed by the Veterans Way Memorial Committee comprised of Chairman Owen Fitz'Gerald, Communications Officer Roy Brown, Councillor Tim Sutton and Douglas Brunton. It was unanimously approved and adopted by Council on August 8, 2011.
During the years that followed, three flagpoles flying the Canadian, Royal Union (Union Jack) and United States of America flags were added to the site along with park identification signage, two steel park benches and finally an M109A4+ Self-Propelled Howitzer Memorial Monument.
