Acting on the suggestion of Parks Canada, the Government of Canada selected 12 National Parks to locate permanent tributes to Canada's fallen warriors. Point Pelee was chosen as the Ontario location. On July 1st 1985, this memorial was unveiled in a service conducted by Branch 84 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Leamington, attended by many government and Legion dignitaries including: W. (Bill) Smith, President R.C.L. Ontario Command; Don Ferguson, Director General Veteran Services; Don Wilkes, Information Officer Parks Canada and Jim Barlow, Park Superintendent.
