The idea for the bench was conceived by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 115 1st V.P. Mike Elliott and designed by Natalie Trainor of St. Lazare. The project got really moving by Executive member Jay Oland and the bench was built by Keith Bonerak of Rigaud in 2020. Legion Executive member Jay De La Durantaye finished the last bit of work on the bench by painting the poppies.

The unique bench was paid for by donations from the family of Lieutenant Harry E. Trenholme, Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve, Second World War. He was at D-Day on a landing craft and was awarded the Legion of Honour in 2015. The other donor was the D-Day Society & Friends who Remember. This group, of which Harry was a member, was formed in 1945 by those who had been at D-Day.

The design on the bench has two Lancaster bombers, a Spitfire, two soldiers, a modern Royal Canadian Navy frigate, a nursing sister helping a wounded soldier and barbed wire intertwined with poppies. Hudson had three nursing sisters - the most famous was Lieutenant Maxine Bredt.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 115 unveiled its newly renovated cenotaph and surrounding park, now named Place Vimy, on August 17, 2017. 

Place Vimy was dedicated later on August 13, 2018. The twenty-five iron posts lined around the cenotaph were sponsored by people in the community. Each post has an inscription on it, in memory of loved ones. A new Place Vimy sign was erected at a central location in the gardens.

A Vimy Oak was planted on September 28, 2018, with Vaudreuil-Soulanges MP Peter Schiefke attending. On June 18, 2020, a new Vimy Oak was planted. A local area resident was kind enough to pick it up near Dundas, Ontario and deliver it.

The Place Vimy Bench is also located here.

PIERRE DE RIGAUD, 1698-1778
MARQUIS DE VAUDREUIL CAVAGNAL

Né à Québec, gouverneur de la Louisiane en 1742, le marquis de Vaudreuil fut le premier Canadien à devenir lieutenant- général et gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France en 1755. Témoin des brillantes campagnes du marquis de Montcalm aux frontières, on lui a reproché sa mésintelligence avec ce général. La prise de Louisbourg, d’autres défaites dans l’ouest du pays et sur les plaines d’Abraham, précipiterènt la chute de la Nouvelle-France. En dépit de la victoire de Sainte-Foy, Vaudreuil dut capituler à Montréal en septembre 1760. Grand-croix de l’ordre de Saint-Louis. Acquitté des accusations portées contre lui, il mourut au château de Muides (Loir-et-Cher).

Born in Québec, named Governor of Louisiana in 1742, the Marquis de Vaudreuil became, in 1755, the first Canadian to be appointed Lieutenant General and Governor of New France. Disparaged by Montcalm, he was, in 1758, placed under the General’s orders and, following the capitulation of New France in 1760, was taken to Europe, charged with maladministration, and for a brief period, imprisoned in the Bastille. Acquitted of the charges against him, he was retired with a suitable pension. He died in Château de Muides (Loir-et-Cher).

COTEAU-DU-LAC

De 1778 jusqu’au milieu du 19ième siècle, Coteau-du Lac
fut le sited’un poste militaire britannique qui défendait le couloir et facilitait le transport des marchandises sur le fleuve St-Laurent. Il fut un point stratégique pendant la Révolution américaine et pendant la Guerre de 1812, alors qu’on le fortifia pour améloirer sa position. En plus d’être un dépôt d’approvisionnement et unfort, Coteau-du-Lac fut le site d’un des plus anciens canaux à écluses en Amérique du nord. Construit en 1779 - 1780, ce canal a été utilisé jusqu’au moment où il fut remplacé par le canal Beauharnois, au cours des années 1840.

From 1778 until the mid-19th century Coteau-du-Lac was the site of a British military post which defended the passage and facilitated the transportation of supplies along the St. Lawrence. It was of strategic importance to the defence of Canada during the American Revolution and during the War of 1812 when its fortifications were added to strengthen its position. In addition to the supply depot and fort, one of the earliest locks in North America was constructed here in 1779-80 on a canal which was in continual use until it was superseded by the Beauharnois Canal in the 1840’s.

This memorial was erected in 1980 and recognizes the importance of Coteau-du-Lac in history. For centuries, rapids impeded travel on the St. Lawrence River in the Cornwall, ON – Valleyfield, QC area between Lac St François and Lac St Louis. The Royal Engineers first attempted to improve the passage by constructing the Ordnance Canals in 1779-1983. These canals were succeeded by the Beauharnois Canal in 1842-1845 and that was, in turn, replaced by the Soulanges Canal in 1892-1899. Today, a section of the St Lawrence Seaway south of Valleyfield bears the name Beauharnois Canal.

LA BATAILLE DES CÈDRES

BATTLE OF THE CEDARS

En 1776, durant la guerre de l'Indépendance américaine, l'armée rebelle occupa Montréal et y établit un petit poste pour protéger son flanc ouest. Venu de Niagara et marchant vers l'Ouest, le capitaine George Foster avec un petit détachement de son régiment, le 8th Regiment of Foot (King's Liverpool), secondé par des Goyogouins, des Tsonontouans, et des Sauteux, attaqua l'avant-poste américain le 18 mai 1776. Après un court siège, les défenseurs capitulèrent, tout comme la troupe américaine envoyée pour délivrer la garnison. Malgré cette victoire, Forster ne put se rendre à Montréal à cause d'un manque de ressources.

In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, an invading American army occupied Montréal and established a small post here to protect its western flnk. Advancing westward from Niagara, Captain George Forster and a small detachment of the 8th Regiment of Foot (King's Liverpool) reinforced by Cayugas, Senecas and Mississaugas encountered the American outpost on 18 May. After a brief siege the defenders capitulated and the American force sent to relieve the garrison also surrendered. Despite this victory Forster lacked the necessary ressources to continue his advance to Montréal.

This plaque, originally unveiled in 1927 and then replaced after 1974 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, commemorates the Battle of the Cedars which took place on 18 May 1776 between the invading American army which occupied this outpost to protect its western flank, and the 8th Regiment of Foot (King's Liverpool) reinforced by some allied members of the First Peoples. The American defenders capitulated. Note: This plaque shows a mistake in both texts: (eastward and not westward).
