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.

In September 2005, three seven feet high statues were commissioned by Canada Lands Company to honour the military personnel who served in the Canadian Forces during the Second World War. The three bronze figures of young servicemen in uniform and full kit appear to be emerging from the eight feet high bas relief bronzes mounted on natural stone plinths. Each branch of the Canadian Armed Forces is represented by a statue; a pilot for the Air Force; a soldier for the Army; and a sailor for the Navy. The statues were created by renowned bronze sculptor Don Begg of Studio West Bronze Foundry Ltd.
