Officially unveiled on Sunday, June 9, 1929, Powell River's memorial was constructed in memory of World War I dead. Some of those present for the ceremony included Randolph Bruce, Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, Doctor Tolmie, Premier of British Columbia, war ace Major D.R. McLaren, representatives of Powell River's Ex-Servicemen's Association, and children from the boy scouts and girl guides. Later, a plaque was added for World War II dead and, in 1994, a plaque was added to honour Korean war dead.
