This memorial, which bears the images of two crusaders swords and the badges of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force, marks a memorial square in this location. It is dedicated to the local men and women who served and the war dead of the Second World War.

In conjunction with the Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District (PADBID), ANAVETS #22 and Royal Canadian Legion Branch #2, completed upgrades to Memorial Square summer 2016. These upgrades included new benches, new garbage receptacles, a re-furbished Cenotaph and new Cenotaph lighting. Improvements were completed with the support of Main Street Saskatchewan and Veteran Affairs Canada. The new street furniture including 8 new benches and matching garbage receptacles. The project was supported by a grant of $7,940 from Main Street Saskatchewan’s Community Enhancement Program. Prince Albert’s Army Navy & Air Force Veterans #22 along with the Prince Albert Royal Canadian Legion Branch #2 worked with the City to plan the upgrades to the Cenotaph and surrounding area. In order to view the Cenotaph more easily, 2 trees were removed. As well, the Cenotaph received an extensive upgrade with a new finish and lights in front and behind the Cenotaph were installed for night time viewing. Two new flag poles have been installed in front of the Cenotaph and will proudly fly the ANAVETS and Legion flags. To finish the project in the spring of 2017, bronze plaques were installed on either side of the Cenotaph to recognize the contributions of the ANAVETS and Legion to the project. This project was supported by a grant of $25,000 from the Cenotaph/Monument Restoration Program of Veteran Affairs Canada. The total cost of both projects was $74,358.

THE MEMORIAL HONOR ROLL

OF THE 104 OFFICERS & MEN OF THE CITY OF PRINCE ALBERT WHO FELL IN THE "SECOND WORLD WAR"

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them

Re-Dedication

Are we worthy of them, O Lord
who have died through the weary years
who did not yield
on a shell-torn field
has their sacrifice died with our tears?

Are we worthy of them, O Lord
who met death in the burning sky
they were young and strong
they have sung their song
must its echos fade and die
are we worthy of them, O Lord
who have died on the wind-swept seas
in their sunken craft
on a broken raft
oh Lord are we worthy of these?

They were eager for Life and Love
death has withered them, root and stem
let us pray, O Lord
on broken sword
let us pray to be worthy of them

Melfort Cenotaph was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 30 and dedicated on 4 August 1929. Colonel F.B. Ware, DSO performed the ceremony on behalf of General J.M. Ross, VC who was unable to attend. Chairman of the Memorial Committee, E. D. Carwardine, read the names of fallen First World War soldiers. Two Books of Remembrance listing the fallen from the First World War were added shortly after the dedication.

The cenotaph was located in Memorial Park on the corner of Broadway Street N, Burrows Avenue and MacLeod Avenue until 1958. It was then moved in front of Memorial Hall at the Melfort Civic Centre where it remained until November 5, 1996. It's third location was in Veteran's Park on the corner of Bemister Avenue E and Assiniboia Street until 3 October 2006. The cenotaph was then moved to its current location on Main Street when it was completely refurbished and rededicated.

After the Second World War, two Books of Remembrance were added listing the fallen from that war. One name from the Korean War was added after that war ended. 

The cenotaph weighs approximately 29,000 pounds, including the four granite Books of Remembrance. The names of the fallen on the Books and the inscription on the 12 feet pillar were hand-cut with gold leaf lead-filled letters. Melfort Cenotaph commemorates all service personnel of all conflicts including Merchant Marines, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and people that worked to supply and support the war effort.
