This memorial is dedicated to the brave men and women who belonged to the Sainte-Anne Division, 1939-45. It was erected by the Sainte-Anne Division. This memorial honours army, navy and air force veterans from the Point St. Charles area. It was unveiled on November 9, 1947, by councillor and MNA Frank Hanley. It took ten years to raise the money to build the monument. "We picked up pennies, nickels and dimes wherever we could," Hanley recalled. The memorial once had three bronze busts at its base representing the three branches of the armed forces, but they were destroyed by vandals in 1975.

The Verdun Victory Memorial was constructed by Coeur de Lion MacCarthy for the city of Verdun and dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. It was unveiled on 5 October 1924 by Jane Leavitt, a Verdun mother who lost three of her five sons in the First World War. The memorial originally stood in a park at the corner of Wellington Street and Mullarkey Avenue (now LaSalle Boulevard), but was moved in front of the city hall in 1959.

One statue depicts a Canadian solder in an exultant attitude, his shrapnel helmet in hand and his rifle raised in the spirit of victory. At the base of the monument is a female figure, symbolic of patriotism and peace, holding in her right hand the flags of victory and supporting with her left hand a shield bearing the arms of the City of Verdun. 

The Second World War and Korean War were later added to the memorial's inscription.

Coeur de Lion MacCarthy, the son of sculptor Hamilton McCarthy, produced numerous commemorative works after the First World War, including: Winged Victory in British Columbia; Great War Memorial and Lethbridge Cenotaph in Alberta; Winged Victory in Manitoba; County of Brome War Memorial, Verdun Victory Memorial, Monument to the Brave and Winged Victory in Quebec; Clifton Hill War Memorial and Woodstock Cenotaph in Ontario.

Sir George-Étienne Cartier Monument: Born in Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu in 1814, he was a member of the "Fils de la Liberté". He sided with Louis-Joseph Papineau during the insurrections of 1837-1838. He was Prime Minister of United Canada from 1857 to 1867 and became one of the Fathers of Confederation. This bust of Cartier stands a little more than four feet high. The pedestal, in Laurentian granite, is twelve feet high. The only ornamentation on the pedestal is a beautiful bronze palm inscribed with Cartier’s motto : "FRANC ET SANS DOL". The monument was unveiled on September 28, 1919. The bust was sculpted by G.-W. Hill.

In November 1837, some 250 Patriots gathered in Saint-Antoine and crossed the river to fight at Saint-Denis, answering a call from George-Étienne Cartier, one of Papineau’s lieutenants. The obelisk is made of wood and measures approximately 20 feet high, with a cement base on which have been installed three plaques bearing the names of the 15 known Patriots from Saint-Antoine. It also bears the Saint-Antoine coat of arms. The memorial was erected on May 24, 1987 by the 150th anniversary municipal commission.
