ROTARY CLUB
OF
WHISTLER
The Whistler Cenotaph was installed outside of the Whistler fire hall in 1985. It was commissioned by the Rotary Club of Whistler to honour the soldiers of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The stone came from a quarry off the Duffey Lake Road and was installed by Art Den Duyf. It was unveiled on November 11, 1985, by Mayor Terry Rodgers and dedicated by then-Rotary Club president Floyd Leclair. The ceremony occurred just three days after the cenotaph’s installation was completed.
The cenotaph was moved to its current location and a second dedication ceremony was held on November 10, 2017. The Rotary Club of Whistler secured funding from the American Friends of Whistler, the Community Foundation of Whistler (community fund for Canada 150), the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, and from Veterans Affairs Canada Commemorative Partnership Program. In addition, the project received value-in-kind, and discounted services from local design and construction firms.
West Vancouver Book of Remembrance
The memorial shrine is a the glass and wood lectern at the West Vancouver Memorial Library (59034-022). The shrine, which includes the glass and wood lectern that houses the "Book of Remembrance" is flanked by two commemorative flags. Above the lectern hangs three pictures. The two drawings are from the early 1940s; "The Unknown Woman Warrior" and "Unknown Soldier" by Unity Bainbridge. In the center hangs the Canadian Red Ensign, the flag under which the Canadian Army fought.
The memorial shrine was presented to the West Vancouver Memorial Library in 1950. The artist Unity Bainbridge donated "The Unknown Woman Warrior" and "Unknown Soldier" to the Library in 1950. The Duncan Lawson Chapter of the I.O.D.E. presented the West Vancouver Memorial Library with the silken Union Jack in 1958.
The memorial shrine is dedicated as a living monument and an everlasting commemoration to the gallant men from the community who sacrificed their lives in World War II.
