In November 2013, local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from troops across Sarnia planted trees of Remembrance in Heritage Park, Sarnia. The project was undertaken by Scouts Canada – Bluewater area, and was completed with the cooperation of the City of Sarnia, and with generous assistance of Enbridge Pipelines, Sun Life Financial, the Sarnia Horticultural Society and Union Gas.
There are 102 (Autumn Blaze) maple trees planted in the park, one tree for each fallen soldier listed on the First World War section of the Sarnia Cenotaph. The trees in the living memorial are planted in the formation of a cross. In November 2014, local Cubs, Beavers and Scouts held a dedication ceremony in the park, unveiling a plaque commemorating the Scouts “Trees of Remembrance Project”.
