This memorial is dedicated to those who died in the service of their country. It was erected by the Millennium Monument Project Committee. The monument was officially unveiled by local MPP Sean Conway and Bernadette Plebon, a Barry's Bay resident who lost a brother during fighting overseas. Aldon Kosinski, who fought in the Polish Army during the Second World War, was a participant in the ceremony. He is a citizen of Wilno, but is a native of France who just returned from visiting the beaches of Normandy - home to the famous fighting of 1944.
Mr. Kosinski laid a wreath on behalf of men serving in wartime over the centuries. Lucy Jefferis of Barry's Bay laid a wreath for women in the military service. Municipal representatives and students from Sherwood Public School, Killaloe Public, Madawaska Valley District High and St. Mary's laid wreaths. Amelia Shulist, whose grandfather Alex survived the Second World War fighting, read a poem written by Bill Foster of Barry's Bay. It read:
We left this land we love And now will see no more, In answer to our country's call, To fight a foreign war. We gave our precious gift of life, That others might be free. Sleep we now in distant graves Or beneath some restless sea. Through our time forget us not, Or we have died in vain, In passing by, a moment pause, And remember us again.

THOMAS ANDREW LOW 1871 - 1931
TOM LOW CAME TO RENFREW IN 1889 A POOR
BOY. BY HARD WORK AND UNUSUAL FORESIGHT
HE HAD BY 1920 ORGANIZED FIVE FINANCIALLY
SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURING COMPANIES. IN
1928 HE UNITED HIS COMPANIES TO FORM
RENFREW INDUSTRIES LIMITED. HARD HIT BY
THE DEPRESSION AND THE SUDDEN DEATH OF
TOM LOW IN 1931 THE INDUSTRIES WERE SOLD
BY THE SHAREHOLDERS AS SEPERATE COMPANIES
IN 1936. THRICE ELECTED TO PARLIAMENT TOM
LOW WAS APPOINTED TO THE CABINET IN 1921
AND IN 1923 WAS MADE MINISTER OF TRADE
AND COMMERCE. IN 1918 HE LANDSCAPED THE
TOWN PARK WHICH WAS THEN NAMED LOW
SQUARE. IN IT HE BUILT THE CENOTAPH BEARING
THE NAMES OF RENFREW AND DISTRICT WAR
DEAD.
The Renfrew Cenotaph was a gift from the Honorable Thomas Andrew Low, a local businessman who was thrice elected to Parliament. In 1918, he landscaped the town park and built the Cenotaph bearing the names of Renfrew and District war dead.
It was made of grey granite and designed by Richard Hubert Millson & Cecil Burgess. The Cenotaph was constructed in 1931. The names of the Second World War war dead and Korean War dates were added later. It was restored in 2008 with financial assistance from Veterans Affairs Canada as part of its Cenotaph Restoration Program.
