Central Saanich Cenotaph was erected in 2018 by the District of Central Saanich. The cenotaph is a symbol of the loss and sacrifice Veterans have made for Canada.
It was designed by Small and Rossell Landscape Architects. On the left side is artwork by a local Indigenous artist, Charles Elliott. His piece symbolizes a human being watched over by eagles, a sacred and wise creature; it also recognizes the contributions and losses of Indigenous peoples during conflicts. The right side is engraved with Canadian maple leaves to symbolize all Canadians who have served.
