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.
Memorial Avenue was formally opened in 1927. The trees along the double boulevard were planted by Army and Navy Veterans. There were elm, ash and Chinese lilac—the last, the gift of Dr. Frank Skinner of the Dropmore Nurseries.
Along the boulevard is the Northwest Rebellion Monument, Russell Cenotaph and a gun emplacement from the First World War.
