This Roll of Honor was erected by Christ Church for the members of their congregation who were killed in the First World War. 

A 300 year old Douglas Fir tree was named "Charlie's Tree" after a World War I veteran Charlie Perkins planted ivy at its base and lay wreaths on it to honour his fallen First World War pilot friends. Charlie Perkins, who died in 1986, moved to the Fraser Valley from Vancouver around 1907, but subsequently joined the Royal Flying Corp and returned home from the First World War in 1919. First World War flight instructor Charlie Perkins, who after returning to Canada in 1919 planted ivy around the base of the 300-year-old Douglas fir — then on the Perkins property, but for several decades later a common sight on the south side of Highway 1 just west of 192nd Avenue — in memory of the veterans. Wreaths, flags, a white cross and other mementoes were placed at the site.  When plans were announced decades later for the Surrey leg of the Trans-Canada Highway (now Hwy. 1) to run through the glade where the tree stood, Charlie began a fight to save it — a fight that was ultimately successful when ‘Flying’ Phil Gaglardi, head of the highways department at the time, agreed to build around the tree, thus saving it and a small park around it. The tree fell onto Highway 1 near 200th St and caused a minor accident and traffic backup Saturday night, in Surrey, BC., August 1, 2016.

After Charlie Perkins, Great War pilot, centuries old Douglas fir fell in 2016, the Friends of Old Canada Society erected a stone marker:

"The Ivy planted at the base of the great Douglas fir on this site was a memorial to North American World War Royal Flying Corps pilots. The pilots trained in Canada and US by British Columbian Charlie Perkins, the man behind the memorial.

A replacement Douglas fir was planted by the roadside on Highway 1 near 192 Avenue as a Memorial to fallen soldiers in 2018.

The tree is maintained by Royal Canadian Air cadets.

This mural was created by Sullivan Heights Secondary School in 2005 as part of the Spirit of Youth Mural Project. "Lest We Forget," is a photo-realist montage of Second World War land, air and sea elements, designed by art teacher, Marc Pelech and his students, Carmen Bright, Nick Castoro and Taryn Sudul. The mural's eclectic mix of vivid hues, sepia-tone and shades of gray is a visual metaphor for the fleeting nature of war memories.

The mural at Heritage Square was demolished in 2018 when the Museum of Surrey expanded. Museum volunteers digitized the mural before its demolition.

This memorial is dedicated to the peacekeepers and to those who died while serving during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was erected by the Victory Memorial Park and Funeral Centre. The base of the memorial is a grey granite pedestal of 2' x 2' x 2' topped with a concrete urn with a diameter of three feet. The memorial is flanked on both sides by metal flagpoles an estimated 30 feet high with a Canadian flag on one side and a British Columbia Provincial flag on the other. The whole memorial installation is backed by a semi-circle of 12 foot high Cypress evergreens.

This memorial is dedicated to all Canadian Veterans. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch #240. The entire monument is surrounded by a single chain fence which is three feet high. The chain is joined at the top with nine metal poles which are set in concrete in the ground. The base of the memorial is ten feet by ten feet and three and half inches high and is made with stones set in concrete.

The original memorial was dedicated to all who served and was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 8 in 1955. The inscription was on a black granite plaque mounted on the cairn. Its base was 42 inches deep by 60 inches wide, tapering to the top which was 98 inches high. It was topped with a hand gripping a lit torch. It was constructed of 36 levels of bricks, all mounted on a concrete base six inches high and in turn set on another ground level concrete base.

The new memorial was a collaboration between the City of Surrey, in partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada and the Last Post Fund. The previous memorial, erected in 1955, was in poor condition, and dismantled with due care in order to preserve the flame located at the top as well as the commemorative plaque placed when originally erected. Both items were preserved at Sunnyside cemetery for proper safe keeping.

Memorial Garden was designed by Dan Bellan Design and consists of three aluminum arches which appear to appear to descend from the front and ascend from the back. The high open arches allow visitors to walk through, a design meant to engage visitors and reflect on the sacrifices of Canadian and Allied Veterans. Beneath the central arch, a two-sided aluminum clad granite centerpiece provides an interpretation of the memorial in both official languages. It was unveiled on November 4, 2021.

This memorial is dedicated to F/Lt. R.L. Brown. It was erected by the Brown family. The memorial is eight feet tall. It is set on a three foot by three foot granite stone base.

This memorial is dedicated to Lieutenant Harold Heber Owen. It was erected by his family. The top or brushed concrete portion of the memorial is 31 inches high and the total height is 45 inches. The black polished granite dedication stone inset into the south face of the memorial measures 30 inches at the top and 50 inches on the foot. The original monument was erected around the time of Lt. Owen's death, and was redone and rededicated in the late 1990's. The buildings, sited on the grounds of Camp Alexander, and the property are owned by the Great Vancouver Neighbourhood Society. This is a non-profit society sponsored by the United Appeal, and dedicated to helping younger persons in need.

The Whalley Cenotaph was erected by the Whalley Royal Canadian Legion Branch 229 in 1952 on the grounds of the Grosvenor Road School. Later it was moved to the Legion's property at 13525 106th Avenue.

Since 2019, the cenotaph has been in storage and only displayed at Remembrance Day services. The Legion Veterans Village is currently being built. A project initiated by the Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command, Whalley Legion Branch 229 and the Lark Group that will provide several services to Veterans. When the project is completed both a new cenotaph and the old cenotaph will be outside of the new Legion building.

On Sunday, 3 June 2007, the Royal Canadian Legion, Whalley Branch #229 dedicated the re-naming of 106 Avenue to Veterans Way/106 Avenue.
