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.

An Honour Roll dedicated to parishioners who gave their lives and those who listed in the First World War was unveiled on the south wall of High Park Avenue Methodist Church on October 10, 1920. It was unveiled by two prominent ladies of the congregation, both of whom had sent sons to the front - Mrs. Thomspon and Mrs. H.W. Weaver. The latter, who lost her only son in the war, presented a rose for each boy whose name appeared on the tablet.

The church was located on High Park Avenue at the intersection with Annette Street. In 1970, High Park Avenue Methodist Church united with Alhambra Avenue United Church to form High Park-Alhambra United Church in the High Park Avenue building. The congregation closed and it is not known what happened to the Honour Roll.
