The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce sponsored a Memorial Avenue of elms, each to be dedicated to a fallen soldier with hopes of extending it to Niagara, a distance of some 65 km. The first trees were planted on the new Hamilton? Niagara Highway near the city limits on 27 April 1923. Because of the highway’s transformation in the 1930s to a divided highway, it was never completed.
