The Great War Memorial Hall was built to commemorate Strathmore's fallen in the First World War. It was funded through public funds, a $2,000 grant from the Municipal District of Bow Valley and a $500 donation from the town of Strathmore. Mayor G. F. Butler and Frank Skene, reeve of the Municipal District of Bow Valley, were the first to turn the sod on May 21, 1921. The hall was opened on July 11, 1922.
