Queen’s Park Cenotaph was unveiled on 6 June 1975 through the efforts of the Trustees of the Veterans Fields of Honour and the city of Calgary. It was dedicated to those who served during the First and Second World Wars and Korean War. Later, an inscription was added for Afghanistan.
The cenotaph is made from a combination of honed Barre gray granite and polished black granite. It is not a typical Cross of Sacrifice design, as it consists of a monolithic black center column, supported by a gray base resting on a three-step platform. There are two black granite vases, one on each side of the main column. Each vase is emblazoned with a maple leaf design.
