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 organ in honour of Newtonbrook United Church parishioners who gave their lives in both World Wars was unveiled on September 13, 1953.

The church, formerly known as Newtonbrook Wesleyan Methodist Church was located at 1 East Yonge Street. In 1925, the congregation joined the United Church and moved to a new larger church in 1962 located on Cummer Avenue and became Newtonbrook United Church. The church is now known as Cummer Avenue United Church. When the congregation moved to their current building in 1959, a bigger organ was purchased. It is not known what happened to the organ, but its plaque is currently in storage at the church.
