The General George R. Pearkes Senior Citizens Housing Society was created in 1969 in honour of George R. Pearkes, VC. It is a 42 unit, non-profit housing complex for seniors.

This hall was built by local citizens including some First World War veterans and was dedicated in a ceremony on 11 November 1922. Mrs. Sybil Taylor, the mother of one of the dead, unveiled the plaque located inside the hall in November 1971. Further information can be found at www.erringtonhall.bc.ca

This memorial is dedicated to all War veterans. It was erected in September 1960 by the members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Mount Benson - Branch No. 256.

This memorial is dedicated to the 2nd Battalion of the Canadian Scottish Regiment.

These Rolls of Honours are dedicated to those from St. Anne's Parish who fought in the First and Second World Wars. They were erected by the Parish.

The terminal at the Nanaimo Airport was named the Nanaimo-Collishaw Air Terminal on 2 October 1999. This was done in honour of Air Vice Marshal Raymond Collishaw CB DSO and bar OBE DSC DFC.

For many years members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 76 attended the Parksville Armistice Day ceremonies. The names of Qualicum Beach men who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the Parksville Cenotaph.

In the spring of 1935, J.R. Lowery donated a centerpiece and flagpole which was erected in the Qualicum Beach Cemetery. The land was originally jointly owned by the Legion with other local organizations, and had been deeded to the village with the stipulation that the center plot be retained by the Legion.  Mr. McGowan finished the centerpiece and a tablet was added. Each year following the Parksville ceremonies, a wreath was placed at the foot of the flagstaff, in remembrance of several Veterans interred in the cemetery. 

During 1946 and 1947, a Memorial Committee headed by E.D. Thwaites, raised funds to erect a cenotaph. 

In November of 1995 plans made by Georgia Keddy to purchase three Veterans memorials were approved. This was the first time in the North Central Vancouver Island Zone, which contains 10 Royal Canadian Legion branches, that such a venture had been attempted.

The memorials are located in Parksville at St. Anne's Church, Knox United Church, and Yates Memorial. The memorials were constructed in June of 1996 in memory of the Parksville and area Veterans who survived the wars and died in later years. The dedication ceremony took place on October 27, 1996. There was a colour guard, laying of wreaths, unveiling, and a light lunch served by the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 49.

This memorial to the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War was erected by the city of Port Alberni.

The Greenwood Cemetery Field of Honour is marked by a granite stele erected by Royal Canadian Legion branches 55 and 169.
