First World War

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.

On September 9, 1923, a plaque was dedicated by Reverend Dr. G.H. Williams to the 20 members of the church who died in the First World War. It was unveiled by Lieutenant-Colonel A.H. Borden, DSO.

Metropolitan Methodist Church, known as the "Cathedral of Methodism" in Toronto, traces its roots to 1818. In 1925, it entered the United Church of Canada as Metropolitan United Church.
