The Cenotaph Committee was established in 1936 “to erect a public memorial to the men of Enderby City and District who gave up their lives in the World Wars”. The monument was built for $235 by Vernon Granite and Marble Co. in Okanagan Landing. Subscriptions totalling $242.15 were given by local residents and organizations. The Cenotaph was built in 1937 and it was erected on the southwest corner of the lawn in front of City Hall, but subsequently moved to Cenotaph Park in 1970. This property was purchased by the local Centennial Committee. This memorial is dedicated to the citizens of Enderby who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and the Merchant Navy. There are six plaques on this memorial, three on the south side and one on each of the other three sides. Directions – From downtown Enderby heading north from the main intersection (George Street and Cliff Avenue), take the first road to the right (Mill Avenue). About a block down this road the memorial is located on the left side of the road.

Universal Carrier
This Universal Carrier No. 2 Mk 2 is dedicated to the memory and sacrifice of the members of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion, The Westminster Regiment (Motor) who served from 1939 to 1946, during World War II. The Regiment was engaged in fighting in North Africa, Italy and North West Europe against the Axis Forces.
 
The primary use of the universal carrier was to transport a section of infantry soldiers. The carrier had a mounted automatic weapon usually the Bren Light Machine Gun which led to the carrier being nicked-named the "Bren Gun Carrier".
 
The paint scheme of this Carrier is that of the 1st Battalion The Westminster Regiment (Motor). Along with the typical tactical signs, soldiers would paint names of their wives and sweethearts on the side of their vehicle.
 
This particular example was produced from the British War Department design and specifications by the Ford Motor Company of Canada plant at Windsor, Ontario in May of 1944.

In 1940, early during WWII, Claude P. Dettloff photographed The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles) marching down the 8th Street hill to Columbia Street. As the Province photographer took pictures of the column, a young boy ran from his mother’s grasp to reach his father’s outstretched hand. The photo became known as Wait for Me Daddy and is one of the iconic Canadian images of WWII. Pictured are five-year-old Warren "Whitey" Bernard and his parents Bernice and Jack Bernard, as the family was about to be separated on October 1, 1940.

The men of the B.C. Regiment, the Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles, form an impressive line as they march down the street. But the focus of the image is on the real and touching scene of one family that is saying goodbye. In the centre of the image field, a pale-haired young boy has broken free of his mother's grasp (at left) to reach out to his uniformed father (at right), who is marching off to war. The father has turned to smile at his son; shifting his rifle to the other hand, he reaches out to his son one last time before they are to be separated by war.

The city established a mayor's task force in 2011 to develop a public art piece to commemorate this historic photograph and issued a call for artists in July 2012 for submissions for the creation of three bronze life-sized sculptures depicting the Wait For Me, Daddy photograph. The City of New Westminster commissioned sculptors Veronica and Edwin Dam De Nogales to create a war memorial sculpture which was installed near the place where the photo was taken. On October 4, 2014 in a public unveiling ceremony, Hyack Square became home for the Wait For Me Daddy monument that was immortalized in bronze, a Canadian Mint Coin and Canada Post Stamp. Warren 'Whitey' Bernard himself unveiled the sculpture.

The Wait For Me, Daddy photograph holds not only tremendous historical significance to New Westminster, but also to the rest of Canada, as it depicts the emotional connection between father and son, and the struggle that ensues when leaving to do one's duty in the armed forces.

This memorial was erected to commemorate the contribution of the Royal Engineers- Columbia Detachment (The Sappers), to the development of British Columbia and in paricular New Westminster.

The Columbia detachment of the Royal Engineers was a contingent created in August 1858 to assist the Governor of British Columbia in maintaining order during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. Commanded by Colonel Richard Moody, the 172 strong sapper contingent began arriving in BC in October and November 1858 just in time to face down a group of rebellious American miners in Yale, BC. Soon afterwards, they undertook several projects including the selection and surveying of the site for the capital- Queenborough, rechristened New Westminster by Queen Victoria in July 1859. Just a mile outside of the townsite, the Engineer's camp developed into a settlement of its own; the area is still known today as Sapperton. Moody and the Royal Engineers also built an extensive road network, including what became Kingsway, connecting New Westminster to False Creek (Vancouver), the Hope Trail and Cariboo Trail and improvements to the Dewdney Trail.   As part of the surveying effort, several tracts were designated "government reserves", which included Stanley Park as a military reserve. The Columbia Detachment was disbanded in July 1863 with most of its members electing to remain in BC.
