This memorial is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion. The cenotaph is in the garden bed with the large oak tree near the Juan de Fuca arena. The cenotaph is maintained by West Shore Parks and Recreation. A small Remembrance Day ceremony takes place there on Nov. 11 with two minutes of silence, and wreath laying.
