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.

Garrison Woods, a residential area located between Crowchild Trail, 20th Street, 34th Avenue and 47th Avenue in South West Calgary, is the unique result of the redevelopment of Calgary’s former Canadian Forces Base by Canada Lands Company. The land of Garrison Woods was previously used as private married quarters for members of the military and their families. 

The theme of Garrison Woods was developed to honour the deep military roots of the land on which it's built and recognizes the First World War. This theme is reflected in a variety of ways, including street and park names. It was completed in 2004, and is home to 14 battle honour monuments.
