It was unveiled in Toronto on November 15th, 1923 by Mrs. Timothy Eaton and on November 26th an identical memorial was unveiled in the Winnipeg store. The shield of the female figure bears the coats of arms of the provinces of Canada. The Toronto memorial is located today in the Eaton Centre at Yonge & Dundas and is accompanied by a WWII memorial. -
