On September 8, 2000, a ceremony was held to honour the men of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. It was held near Siffleur Falls, about 365 km southwest of Edmonton and about 4 kilometres from the mountain named Ex Coelis, Latin for "out of the clouds". They jumped "out of the clouds" and this was the battalion's motto. A memorial was unveiled at this ceremony to mark the group's heroic wartime service. The massive four peaks of the Ex Coelis mountain represent the major campaigns the battalion fought in the Second World War: Normandy, Ardennes, Rhine and Elbe. The memorial, a sister to the Le Mesnil monument in size and shape, serves three purposes: to identify the mountain and the battalion, pay tribute to the men who rest in foreign lands and those who died after the war, and affirm that while battalion members were operationally part of the British 6th Airborne Division, their role as soldiers was as Canadians. The battalion, the forerunner of postwar Canadian airborne formations, suffered more than 540 casualties. The men of the group won 18 honours and awards and 19 Mentioned in Dispatches. The project was spearheaded by the late Norm Toseland, a former Lieutenant in the battalion. Walt Romanow, a battalion veteran, brought the project to completion.

In 1920 the stained glass window on the east end of the church was dedicated to Reverend Fanning-Harris, who was wounded on September 16, 1916 during the violent Battle of the Somme in France, while the chaplain was conducting a burial service for a soldier. He passed away on May 4, 1917. The window was paid for by contributions from Church parishioners and overseas Chaplains.

On the west wall, an honour roll lists the names of the 134 parishioners who served in the First World War: crosses mark the names of the 22 men who were killed. A second honour roll on the south wall commemorates the 92 parishioners who served in the Second World War: crosses mark the names of the six men who never returned.
