Veterans Park

This monument honours the brave men from Shawinigan Falls killed in action during the First and Second World Wars. It was modelled after the stelia from ancient Greece. A bronze sword is mounted on each side of the monument, above three laurel wreaths. At the foot of the monument, a bronze statue represents a woman carrying in her arms a dying soldier whose face is partially hidden by her hands, making him more anonymous, more apt to represent the unknown soldier than to resemble someone in particular.

In front of the statue, a bronze plaque bears the following inscription: "Ceux qui pieusement sont morts pour la patrie ont droit qu'à leur tombeau la foule vienne et prie" – Victor Hugo. (Those who piously died for the country have a right to see the crowd come and pray on their tombs.) The monument was unveiled on September 6th, 1948.

This memorial recalls a historic injustice Canadians should pause to remember, as we recall the First World War and the valour of all those Canadian men, and some women, who served. It is a tribute to mark the memory of the thousands of "enemy aliens" who had their civil rights stripped, and were subsequently imprisoned during Canada's first national internment operations of 1914-1920, following the implementation of the War Measures Act. 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the War Measures Act - adopted on August 22, 1914 during the First World War. It was used to imprison Ukrainian-Canadians, and other ethnic groups, including German, Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian, and Armenian communities, into one of Canada's 24 internment camps.

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk, a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and former chair of the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association (UCCLA), had taken it upon himself to lead the way and organize the memorial. In the CTO ("One Hundred") project, 100 aluminum plaques were simultaneously unveiled at 100 different locations across the country at 11:00am local time on August 22, 2014. The first plaque was unveiled in Amherst, Nova Scotia, followed by a wave of plaque unveilings moved west, from province to province, culminating in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The plaques, which cost $1,000 to make, were funded by the generosity of the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Interment Recognition Fund.

Each plaque features a photo of internment prisoners confined behind a wire fence at the Castle Mountain Internment Camp in Banff, Alberta. The Castle Camp, which was built in 1915 at the base of Castle Mountain, was a Canadian internment camp which held immigrant prisoners of Ukrainian, Austrian, Hungarian, and German descent.

This school is named in honour of Major-General Georges-Philéas Vanier, PC, DSO, MC, CD.

Major-General Georges-Philéas Vanier was a Canadian soldier who served as Governor General of Canada. He was born and educated in Quebec. After obtaining a BA and a law degree, he served in the Canadian Army during the First World War on the European battlefields. On 1918, while leading an attack on the village of Chérisy, he was shot in the chest and both legs, eventually losing one leg to his wounds. Subsequently, Vanier returned to Canada and remained in the military until the early 1930s, when he was posted to diplomatic missions in Europe. With the outbreak of the Second World War, Vanier rejoined the military, commanding troops on the home front. In 1942 he was promoted to the rank of major general, and made the Canadian Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the governments of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Yugoslavia, as well as the representative of the Canadian government to the Free French all of which were governments in exile. In 1959, he was appointed Governor General of Canada remaining in this post until his death in 1967. Vanier proved to be a popular governor general, with his war record earning respect from Canadians.

This Casavant Opus organ was built in 1928 and restored in 1948. At this time it was also dedicated to the Chaplains and Franciscains that died during the Second World War. It was saved from demolition and moved to its present location. In 2008 a second plaque dedicated to all those who lost their lives in all wars was added.

On April 10, 2007, the students and staff of John Paul I Junior High School unveiled this student made replica of the Saint-Julian Memorial, honouring the Canadian soldiers who died during the first gas attacks of the First World War on April 22, 1915. The monument will serve as an ongoing tribute to all Canadian Forces Personal, past, present, and future. The monument located inside the school itself and attached to the wall, is ten feet high, and two feet wide, weighs over 150 lbs and is made of a wooden skeleton and layers of plaster. It took four months to create. The monument has the names of major battles on a column to the left beginning with Vimy Ridge and ending with Afghanistan. To the right and left of the monument are two plaques with the poem "In Flanders Fields", one in English and the other in French.
