The Invermere Cenotaph was unveiled in 1925 by Lady Marie Evelyn Byng, Viscountess Byng of Vimy, Viceregal Consort of Canada (1921–26). It was located at the Canadian Legion building on the point between 7th and 6th Avenues, where the present day Windermere Museum is.
Later, inscriptions were added for the Second World War and Korean War. The cenotaph was moved to its present location, the town center, in 1968.
