Memorial
At St. Margaret’s, New Toronto various congregants and groups donated stained-glass windows, a pulpit, a lectern bible, and an altar cross in memory of fallen members of the congregation. Though less readily recognized as a soldier memorial than an inscribed tablet or stained-glass window, the altar cross represents significant grief and memory for parishioners William and Mary Jane Millard, who lived just two blocks from St. Margaret’s. They donated the cross in honour of their two sons William and Arthur Millard -
