Notice:
The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.
During renovations to the library in the 1990s, the memorial fountain was broken beyond repair.
Veteran's Week was marked by the unveiling ceremony and presentation to the town by the Women's Institute of the handsome Memorial Fountain on the Public Library grounds. Mrs. J. L. Tolton, president of the Women's Institute, in a very neat speech, made the presentation, while Maj Herb Henderson replied on behalf of the soldiers and Mayor McNab accepted the generous gift on behalf of the town.
