The Women's Tri-Service Monument was dedicated on July 4, 1976, in memory of the women that served or gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The 1.83m monument was created by sculptor Helen Granger Young and depicts three women standing back to back in Second World War era military dress. One woman wears the uniform of the Canadian Women's Army Corps, one wears the uniform of the Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division, and one wears the uniform of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service.

The monument was flown to Winnipeg from Alberta by a Canadian Forces Hercules transport aircraft in early June 1976. It was bronzed at Studio West foundry in Cochrane, Alberta. It was erected by the Women’s Tri-Service Association World War I and World War II Veterans of Winnipeg. The Memorial was later rededicated by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II.

This memorial is dedicated to those who died with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada. It was erected by the Wartime Pilots and Observers Association on Winnipeg on 9 September 1984. In September 1984, the 2.14m Monument "First Flight" was unveiled on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature in Winnipeg. Near the Cenotaph, the statue was dedicated to all the Commonwealth and Allied Airmen trainees and instructors who died during training in Canada. The dedication ceremony was attended by Air Force officials and 5,000 service men from 16 countries and held in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Sculptor, Mrs. Young prepared the Airman Memorial for the sculpture that was at Artcast, in Georgetown, Ontario early in 1984. The sculpture was cast in silicon bronze and then finished by hand.

On this site a cenotaph, dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War, was originally erected by the city of St. James and unveiled on 30 June 1936. Having fallen into disrepair, it was replaced by a new memorial, this shaft. Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 4 (St. James) and the City of Winnipeg Parks and Recreation Branch, it was unveiled on 30 September 1990, and adds dedications to the local war dead of the Second World War and the Korean War.
