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.

Memorial Parish Hall was constructed in the mid 1950s through a financial campaign within the congregation. The Rector, Reverend Arthur E.L. Caulfield, had served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Chaplain and was instrumental in the Memorial Parish Hall being built. The architect was H.H. Roberts, Westport and the general contractor was Kirkham & Farnel. The total project cost was $130,000. 

The engraved marble plaque with gold in-fill surmounted by a simple cross is mounted on the wall in the main lobby of the parish hall.
