The Snug Cove cenotaph was built in 1937 by members of the Bowen Island community assisted by the Royal Canadian Legion No. 150 to commemorate friends and neighbours who had given their lives in World War I. When they built the base, they used old single cot, metal bed springs for reinforcement. As they poured the concrete, kids threw pennies in the cement.
