At the July 14, 1958, Royal Canadian Legion Brach 242 meeting, a motion was made by Len Sadlier-Brown that a local memorial be built as there were many men lost from the area and it was a two hour drive into Kamloops to attend Remembrance Day services. A wooden cross was used as a memorial until the cenotaph was built in 1973. Roy Inkster designed and built the cenotaph out of cement and volunteers from the Legion built the base out of cement and rock. Earl Frazer and Eric Johnson were among the volunteers. 

The Barrierre Cenotaph has granite insets on each side. In 2001, a grey granite inset was mounted on the front with four black plaques in remembrance of wars in which Canadians fought and died. It was refurbished in 2013 at cost of $12,000 by Fritz Prudat and Tom Kempter. Afghanistan and UN plaques were added at this time.

This memorial was constructed in 1925. A Ladies' Auxiliary to the Great War Veterans Association was started in 1919 to aid the club and to choose a memorial to war veterans. The auxiliary held bazaars and other fund-raising affairs to raise money for this purpose. It was decided by them to have a clock as part of the memorial. Location of the Memorial was a matter of much discussion for several years. In June 1923, a plebiscite was held, the majority favouring a site in the 400-block, Victoria. On June 22, 1923, an ad was inserted in the Standard by the Auxiliary to the G.W.V. Association for tenders to erect the clock. The clock had already been purchased by them from Benson's of England at a cost of $1,063.00 in December of 1921. A bazaar was held by the Auxiliary that month at which $833.00 was raised. In January 1924, a request was made to the City for help for the memorial and the Mayor appointed the finance committee to act on this. It was reported at the February 7, 1924, Council meeting that a meeting of representative bodies had met and decided City Council be asked to provide the balance of the money to complete the Memorial. A motion was passed that a by-law be introduced authorizing a loan to borrow the necessary amount. Voting took place March 15, 1924, and By-Law 389 for $3,800.00 was approved. Further discussion took place about location, and By-Law 402 was voted on with four choices: - N/E corner of Battle & 2nd - Stuart Wood School grounds, 3rd & St. Paul - Coronation Park (Riverside), - Victoria St. between 4th & 5th Av. June 20, 1924, the choice favoured for the Memorial was the N/E corner of Battle & 2nd. Tenders were called and Art Monument Company Ltd. of Vancouver was the successful bidder. Their quote of $5,000.00 was accepted on Sept. 11, 1924, which included the cost of fixing the mechanism and dials of the clock. On December 5, 1924, Architect W. H. MacAulay was asked to prepare plans of Memorial Hill - to be laid out and beautified in the future. The Memorial was duly finished and the unveiling took place on May 24, 1925.

Indigenous Veterans were not given the respect by the government as they deserved, so the Kamloops Indian Band erected the Shuswap War Veterans Memorial Site to show Indigenous Veterans that they are truly respected. This memorial is for the Veterans and also for those of the past, present and future that struggle for freedom and justice.

There are two cairns. One includes the eternal flame directly in front and has an epitaph engraved plaque. The coyote rock on top is symbolic of the creator and the spiritual presence within the Shuswap Nation. The rock is supported by stones of various sizes and shapes, each individually unique as the Shuswap who have risen to battle for freedom. In the foreground, reclining rocks represent the soldiers who have fallen in battle. The eternal flame is symbolic of the Shuswap spirit, which will never die. The bronze plaque contains several symbols - the round form represents the wheel of life that we all travel and the four eagle feathers on the face represent the four directions that we travel in life's journey. At the top of the plaque is the staff and pipe which were presented to the Shuswap Chiefs by Queen Victoria. They depict the union of our nations and are bound by a leather thong, which is the bond we have taken to fight together for freedom of all people.

Another cairn has a plaque listing the names of the honoured and the theatre in which they fought. A duplicate of this plaque is at the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Administration Building.

The unveiling on November 11, 1990, was attended by Wilfred Matthews, the highest ranking Indigenous Veteran. The opening speech was spoken in Shuswap by Ricardo. The drum group performed the Veteran song that was composed by a fellow from the United States. The song talks about the Veterans that have gone to war and came back and the ones that didn't come back, that their spirits be blessed. The eternal flame was lit by the Kamloops Veterans.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE RADAR STATION AT KAMLOOPS COMMENCED IN 1956 WITH THE UNIT BEING DESIGNED AS AN EARLY WARNING RADAR SITE TO AUGMENT THE PINE TREE RADAR CHAIN. A LIMITED DEGREE OF OPERATIONS WAS ACHIEVED BY DECEMBER 1958. THE STATION WAS FIRST MANNED BY AMERICAN AIR FORCE PERSONNEL AND BECAME HOME OF THE 825TH RADAR SQUADRON.

ON 1 APRIL 1962, THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MANNING OF THE RADAR STATION. THIS BROUGHT ABOUT THE DISBANDMENT OF THE AMERICAN SQUADRON AND THE FORMATION OF 56 AC&W SQUADRON, RCAF STATION KAMLOOPS. THE 56 AC&W REMAINED IN EXISTENCE UNTIL 30 AUGUST 1967, WHEN AS A RESULT OF UNIFICATION OF THE FORCES, THE UNIT WAS OFFICIALLY REDESIGNATED CANADIAN FORCES STATION KAMLOOPS.

THE STATION MOTTO "ILS NE PASSERONT PAS" TRANSLATES TO "THEY SHALL NOT PASS." CANADIAN MILITARY AND CIVILIANS MANNED THE SITE AROUND THE CLOCK TO PROVIDE FOR CANADIAN DEFENCE AS A PART OF NORTH AMERICAN AIR DEFENCE(NORAD). OPERATIONS CEASED ON APRIL 1988 AND THE STATION CLOSED ON AUGUST 1, 1988.
