This memorial garden, outside the Municipal Officers on Morrison road, consists of a garden, cairn, and plaque honouring war veterans, serving military and emergency response personnel. The dedication ceremony was held on Saturday, September 15, 2012 by Mayor Ivor McCorquindale, His Honour Col. (Ret’d) the Honourable Doland S. Ethell, OC. OMM, AOE, MCS, CD, LLD, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, and other honoured guests.
The village of Longview raised almost $60,000 through fundraising and grants to build the gardens. The cost was offset by donated materials and time by the volunteers. The largest single donation came from Legacy Oil & Gas, who donated $20,000 to the project.
