Pearse Place honours Ernest T.W. Pearse (early settler of Grande Prairie). The City of Kamloops Heritage Commission initiated the Veterans Street Sign project to promote public awareness of the City’s heritage. To honour their Veterans the City of Kamloops added a poppy symbol to the Pearse Place street sign in honour of Ernest's son Second Lieutenant Walter Josiah Pearse who died while serving with the Royal Horse Artillery during serving in the First World War.
