This memorial was dedicated in 1972 to the memory of the First and Second World Wars. It was designed by Fire Chief Aubrey Creed, who based the design off of the Bronze Star award he received from the Unites States for his valour in the Italian campaign of the Second World War. In 2013, the District of Kitimat and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 250 added new plaques to the cenotaph as part of a beautification project.

THIS TABLET COMMEMORATES THOSE IN THE SERVICE
OF THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY WHO
AT THE CALL OF KING AND COUNTRY LEFT ALL THAT
WAS DEAR TO THEM, ENDURED HARDSHIP, FACED DANGER
AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF SIGHT OF MEN BY THE
PATH OF DUTY AND SELF SACRIFICE. GIVING UP THEIR
OWN LIVES THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM
LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT
THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN.

The Victoria Canadian Pacific Railway Great War Tablet was dedicated in the Steamship office on April 28, 1922. It was relocated to the Royal British Columbia Museum. 

To honour those who served and gave their lives during the Great War, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) erected a series of bronze memorial tablets in over twenty select locations along their railway system and offices in Canada, United States, England and China. The tablet depicts Britannia, the national personification of Britain, as a helmeted female warrior with a lion to her right and a shield at her feet, HMS Lion (Admiral Beatty's flagship during the Battle of Jutland) with airplanes above and a tank in front, Canadian Pacific Steamship RMS Empress of Russia (used during the war as an armed merchant cruiser and transport ship), Canadian troops, and a CPR locomotive in a nod to all those who travelled by train across Canada before heading overseas. The plaque was designed by Archibald Pearce, Chief Engineer's Department, Montreal, with its model and casting by the Bromsgrove Guild at Worcester, England.

Victoria High School has 24 stained glass windows that were designed by Eric Clarke, the same art teacher who designed the First World War Memorial Tablet. The windows were installed sometime after the First World War. There are two designs - the intertwined letters VHS, the Victoria High School logo, flanked by a poppy on each side; and a shield with a banner crossing it diagonally, flanked by a poppy on each side.

There are six windows in the auditorium, three on each side. These are all the VHS logo design. Each above-ground stairwell in the 1914 building has three windows that climb the wall beside the stairs. There are two stairwells on each floor – one on the Girls’ (east) side of the building, and one on the Boys’ (west) side of the building. These designations have not been followed for decades, but remain on the exterior of the updated building as a historical reference. There are three stairwells going up each side of the building, first to fourth floors. The 18 windows in the stairwells alternate between the two designs.

The graduating classes of 1916-17 and 1917-18 created this Roll of Honour by handwriting the names of every soldier from Victoria High School who fought in the Great War. They were assisted by J.S. McMillan with the design and execution. Included are the names of 499 soldiers, teachers, students and nurses with a red diamond beside the names of the fallen. Each name represents a person who was in this high school and walked the same halls that students, administrators and guests now walk.

In the Spring of 1948, Victoria High School students and staff raised funds to create a track and field complex to honour those that had served in the Second World War. Completed in 1949, the facility was known as Memorial Stadium.

Demolition of part of the Memorial Stadium began in August of 2020. Renovations to the school meant the north stands of the stadium had to be removed as part of the work. The memorial element of the stadium will be incorporated as part of the renovated facility and stadium renewal.
