Christ Church Cathedral Memorial Hall is a two-storey stone Gothic Revival building which includes an auditorium, classrooms for Sunday School, a work room, guild room, recreation hall and synod office for the church. The Memorial Hall was completed before construction of the Christ Church Cathedral (which the hall was originally meant to be connected to) began, and was intended for use as a church hall. It was designed by architect John Charles Malcolm Keith. The hall was used for church functions and offices from 1923 until it was converted to an independent religious school, Christ Church Cathedral School, in 1989. It is dedicated to the memory of those who had fallen in the First World War.

These stones are located in front of the Oak Bay Cenotaph. They contain plaques dedicated to the First World War, Korea, Peacekeepers and the Canadian Merchant Navy.

When Peace Comes is a monument of gratitude for the Canadian Forces, Liberators and Peacekeepers. Created from white Vancouver Island Marble that stands six and a half feet high, this liberating sculpture of peace has some very powerful symbols of transition and transformation on it. We all view things through the lenses of our own life experiences and we engage with memorials or art from that place of personal reference.

For sculptor, Maarten Schaddlelee, this sculpture represents a thank you to the soldiers and Canada for his family's peace in Holland and their new beginnings here in this land of peace. The hand and the sword represent the foe. Peace Comes is represented by the dove symbolizing Canadian Soldiers who liberated Holland by offering their lives for the freedom of the Dutch people. The illumination around the dove is the creation of peace and the prayer of keeping the peace. It was also a personal thank you to his wife Nadina's father William John Workman Stewart, a Canadian soldier, who was one of the liberators of Holland. 

The flags behind the memorial are: National Flag of Canadian, Royal Union Flag, Red Ensign – Army (1957-65), White Ensign – Navy, Blue Ensign – Air Force and Red Ensign – Merchant Navy (1922-57). A sponsor’s plaque of polished granite is mounted on an abutting wall behind the curve of the memorial.

In 1949, the City of Victoria opened and dedicated the Victoria Memorial Arena which was named for and dedicated to the Second World War Veterans. In the lobby, was an alcove twenty feet across in which stood an eight feet by four feet white marble plaque immortalizing the service of Second World War Veterans. It was flanked by the Canadian Flag and the Canadian Red Ensign. The arena stood until 2003 when it was demolished to make room for the present Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

Before the demolition, the Royal Canadian Legion organized a ceremony at which the arena was undedicated and the flags removed from the memorial. The Second World War marble plaque was stored until it could be placed in the new arena. It was used as a template for four additional plaques to commemorate the South African War, First World War, Peacekeeping/Peacemaking/Gulf War and Korean War.

Veterans Memorial Wall was unveiled on April 16, 2005. The curving wall is 33 feet wide and stands over 11 feet tall. It consists of five white Carrara marble plaques set into white veined, black Vancouver Island marble. The original Second World War plaque is centered in the wall. 

A plaque was erected in memory of members of Victoria City lodges who made the supreme sacrifice in the First World War.
