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.

The Victoria Cross monument, located in the Victoria Cross Memorial Park, includes and assembly area, walkways, and educational stations explaining the significance of the Victoria Cross medal. The park itself is V-shaped, the monument serving as a symbol of remembrance for the brave and valiant Canadians who serve our country and have fought for our freedom. The monument lists the full names, units, hometown, and war or conflict in which recipients served.

The Victoria Cross Memorial Park Monument Society named the park in 1987, and the monument was erected in 2012 – 2013. Up to $50,000 of this funding was provided through the Community War Memorial Program, the entire project being endorsed and supported by the Royal Canadian Legion and the City of Edmonton.
