Flin Flon, Manitoba

Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

The Flin Flon Cenotaph, unveiled in 1959, is a grand presence overlooking the community from one of the city’s high points. This memorial to local Veterans was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 73. Eighty seven names appear on the bronze plaque Honour Roll. With its powerful verticality, simple but elegant form, expert stonework, and beautifully carved details, the memorial is a sculptural highlight.
