Erected by the village of Garson, this memorial is dedicated to the memory of the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. The Garson history books date the unveiled on June 25, 1933.

The Garson Cenotaph combines a stout obelisk with tapered support blocks that make for an unusual design and presence. The monument is made from Manitoba limestone, also called Tyndall stone. The front has seven names from the First World War and an inscription from Lawrence Binyon’s 1914 poem “For the Fallen.” One stanza is familiar in the Act of Remembrance. Only the final lines are used (with a change from the original “will” to “shall”): “At the Going Down of the Sun and in the Morning we Shall Remember Them.” 

Later, five names of the fallen from the Second World War were added.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Great War Tablet in Weston Shops was dedicated on April 28, 1922. The ceremony was led by Assistant Superintendent (Motive Power) A. Sturrock, with long-serving and retired employee S.J. Pentland unveiling the monument, Alderman (Major) Robert James Shore gave the formal address, and Reverend Robert Weston Ridgeway provided the dedication. 

Following the Second World War, a small crest was added to the tablet, now honouring employees who served in either conflict. By the early 1950s, the war memorial was next to the Weston Yard main gate at McPhillips Street and Jarvis Avenue. An Honour Roll was created for the over 400 local employees who served during the Second World War, with both co-located at the main gate for many years and later moved into the yard.

Between 2018 and 2020, the tablet was relocated to the employee parking area and mounted on a new stone base, with the 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 crest immediately below, and set above an updated Second World War Honour Roll.

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.

This cross was brought to Canada from the battlefields near Arras, France, where it had been erected to honour the sacrifices of the 16th Battalion (The Canadian Scottish) Canadian Expeditionary Force who fell in the fall of 1918 during the final stage of the Second Battle of Arras, the Battle of the Drocourt-Quéant Line, and Breaking of the Hindenburg Line. 

In March of 1935, it was agreed that a wooden cross should be erected in front of the First Presbyterian Church in memory of the members of the 16th Battalion who had been killed in the First World War. Annie Kay, wife of 16th Battalion Regimental Sergeant Major James Kay, unveiled the cross on May 8, 1935. Regimental Sergeant Major James Kay, was one of the approximately 250 members of the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada, a militia regiment formed in Winnipeg in 1910, who joined the 16th Battalion (The Canadian Scottish) when it was formed for overseas service in 1914. The cross was first placed on the grounds of the church and is now kept in the Cameron Chapel.

Battle of Arras, Battle of the Drocourt-Quéant Line, and Breaking of the Hindenburg Line are the long/formal battle honours for the fighting that occurred during the period named on the memorial inscription.

The first Royal Canadian Air Force Ensign was dedicated at All Saints Anglican Church in 1944, but due to deterioration, was replaced in 1982 by an ensign donated by the Wartime Pilots’ and Observers’ Association. The ensign will remain in place until it disintegrates. It is a Royal Air Force blue field with the Union Jack next to the staff and a roundel of blue and white, with a red maple leaf in the center. This ensign hangs above a memorial plaque erected in memory of those who gave their lives serving with the Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Air Forces of the  Commonwealth during the Second World War. Due to All Saints Anglican Church's proximity to Fort Osborne, in their early years they were known as "the military church" and had many military personnel as parishioners.

An ensign is the flag that identifies a unit's or organization’s history. On 30 November 1921, the Canadian Air Force Ensign, identical to that of the Royal Air Force, was unfurled for the first time at Camp Borden, Ontario. In June 1940, the King approved the Royal Canadian Air Force Ensign, which replaced the roundel’s original red circle center with a red maple leaf. The ensign was retired upon the introduction of the National Flag of Canada in 1965 and the introduction of the Canadian Armed Forces Ensign.

In 1972, the Royal Canadian Air Force Association petitioned Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to decree that the ensign, (declared obsolete by the Department of National Defence Director of Ceremonial) should become a living symbol for the Association. In September 1973, the Association was advised that by Royal Decree the ensign was theirs and would henceforth be known as the Royal Canadian Air Force Association Ensign. 

The Royal Canadian Air Force Association changed its name to Air Force Association of Canada in 1994, and on January 1, 1997 the ensign was officially trade-marked to be known as the Air Force Association Ensign. In 1984, an Air Command flag was authorized by the Department of National Defence. It resembles the Air Force Association Ensign with the Canadian flag replacing the Union Jack.
