MEMORIAL
HALL
The original Strome Memorial Hall was built in 1920 to serve as a memorial to the village's war dead and as a community gathering place. Fifteen men from the Strome district lost their lives in the First World War, a devastating loss to a community of less than 300 people. The hall was destroyed by fire on September 28, 1935.
Construction of the current hall began less than three weeks later. A brick chimney on the north elevation and a gable-roofed shed slightly to the south of the hall are the sole remaining elements of the original 1920 building. Two bronze plaques, bearing the names of the district's fallen soldiers from the First and Second World Wars are affixed to the Hall on either side of the front vestibule.
The Strome Memorial Hall is now the home of Sodbusters Archives Museum.

The parishioners of Castor erected this memorial unveiled in 1943. The stained glass window is dedicated to the parishioners who served during the Great War and World War II. It is made of three light windows and called “War Memorial window of Christ teaching” by Robert McCausland Limited.
This memorial, the Last Post Memorial Board, was donated by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the local Royal Canadian Legion branch in memory of deceased members of the branch.

LEST WE FORGET
The Stirling cenotaph design was a combined effort between Mayor Trevor Lewington and Mr. Jim Mulock from Lethbridge Monumental Ltd. The cenotaph commemorates those who fell in both World Wars as well as recognizes those who served from our community and returned. It is the first cenotaph in the community and was dedicated and officially unveiled to the community on November 11, 2021.
The stone is a black granite sourced from India. The engraving was completed in Quebec with the final finishing and installation completed by Lethbridge Monumental Ltd.
The memorials held inside Grace United Church can be divided into four separate items: 1) a white marble tablet sculpted by Reverend Norman Priestly in honour of the local war dead of the First World War; 2) a wooden plaque erected by the Sunday School also naming the local war dead of the First World War; 3) another First World War memorial; and 4) a written memorial to the Second World War.
Constructed in 1981, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars.
