Maple trees planted in 1913 by the Tower Road School’s young principal, George Macdonald Sylvester, were dedicated as a memorial to him following his death on the Thiepval battlefield in September 1916. The trees came down in late 2015 or early 2016.

By assigning a tree to a fallen soldier, usually by means of a small plaque, an additional depth of symbolism is imparted. In some cases, the next-of-kin was involved in purchasing the tree and/or plaque for the deceased soldier. Trees of Remembrance are based on the symbol-like image of a living memorial: trees represented the victory of life over death. Memorial trees became living symbols of the sacrifices made in France and Belgium.

A Westmount Subdivision was constructed following the Second World War. The streets were named in honour of some of the service personnel from Halifax who were killed in the Second World War. The Westmount School has named many of the hallways after these same individuals. Research and interviews were conducted by the students. This project was unveiled in November 2000. In addition, the playing field is named in the same manner. Corporal Douglas MacDonald also has a hallway named after him. (Refer to memorial number 12004-209)
