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.
Dragoon Place was dedicated by the Canada Lands Company on August 23, 2011, as part of their redevelopment of Edmonton’s former Canadian Forces Base (Griesbach Barracks).
The Royal Canadian Dragoons is the most senior cavalry regiment in Canada, having been formed on December 21, 1883, in Quebec City when the 'Cavalry School Corps' was authorized to be formed. It was re-designated the 'Canadian Dragoons' on 14 May 1892.
