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.
A tablet honouring St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church parishioners who gave their lives in the First World War was unveiled by Reverend John Pringle, DD on April 4, 1920. Reverend Pringle lost his son in the war and read from a letter he received from him a few days before his death.
A cross on the tablet stands out above the names and on either side are representations of flaming torches. It is not known what happened to the plaque that was formerly located in the church at 73 Simcoe Street.
"These are the men from St. Andrew's Church, who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914-1918."
