The St. Norbert Cenotaph was financed by a collection from students at St. Norbert Boys School. Principal J.A.M. Cyr donated the funds to Reverend Cure M. Cloutier. The cenotaph was erected between 1921 and 1922, as Cloutier became a Monseigneur in 1922.

Since 2009, a Remembrance Day Service has been held here annually and caring for the monument has become a community project. At the 2019 service, three people attended who were family members of one of the 13 people honoured on the cenotaph. 

Jim Busby, a local amateur historian and researcher, helped research the 13 servicemen from St. Norbert with assistance from the Manitoba Historical Society and Darryl Toews. Among those memorialized on the cenotaph are Charles Leaumorte and Jules Seewald, two French men who were called back to France to serve once war broke out. Leaumorte was a teacher in St. Norbert.

North Centennial Recreation and Leisure Facility in Point Douglas was renamed Sergeant Tommy Prince Place in March 2017. Veterans, members of the Canadian Armed Forces and other dignitaries took part in a ceremony to honour Thomas George "Tommy" Prince.

Sergeant Tommy Prince was a prominent Anishinaabe activist who served in the Second World War and Korean War. His story is one of the most widely known examples of the wartime contributions of Indigenous soldiers in the mid-20th century and the poor treatment they received upon their return to civilian life in Canada. His accomplishments attracted national media attention during his lifetime and earned him a great many posthumous tributes.

Prince was born in October 1915 in St. Peter's Reserve, Manitoba. He was the great-grandson of respected Ojibwa Chief Peguis, and one of eleven children born to Elizabeth and Henry Prince. In 1920, they moved to Brokenhead Ojibway Nation in Scanterbury, Manitoba. At age five, Prince was forced to leave his community and attend Elkhorn Residential School, where he joined the Cadet Corps. He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from the residential school before he joined the military.

In 1940, he volunteered to fight for Canada in the Second World War. He rose from sapper to lance corporal with the Royal Canadian Engineers before volunteering for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion in 1942. Soon after, he was assigned to the elite 1st Canadian Special Service Battalion, which was attached to the First Special Service Force (Devil’s Brigade). He reached the rank of sergeant by war’s end, and was one of three Canadians to receive both the Silver Star (United States) and the Military Medal. King George VI presented him with both honours during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1945, shortly before Prince’s discharge from the army. 

He wanted to prove his people were as good as any white man and restore their good name. One way to achieve this was to acquire as many medals as possible and he did so without putting his men at risk. Before any patrols he would ensure they were camouflaged and everything was secured. Often he would patrol alone because there would be less noise. Prince was a natural warrior and he excelled as the military developed the skills he learned on the reserve while living off the land. He loved the Devil's Brigade and was always praising his men, "If it wasn't for my men, I wouldn't be who I am today." He was a caring man who loved to joke around and make people laugh.

He was a prominent leader in the Indigenous rights movement of the 1940s. After the war, he served as spokesperson and vice-president of the Manitoba Indian Association, and appeared on its behalf before a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Commons, tasked with studying the Indian Act. During his testimony in 1947, he advocated for the abolition of the Indian Act and respect for existing treaties, and presented submissions from Indigenous in Manitoba, which called for improved schools, better living conditions, and expanded hunting, trapping, and fishing rights.

In 1950, Prince re-enlisted in the Korean War. He contributed to the defence of Hill 677 in the Battle of Kapyong in 1951, for which the United States awarded the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry the Distinguished Unit Citation—the only time a Canadian unit has received this honour. Military service took a heavy toll on his health and, following his honourable discharge from the army, he faced a difficult return to civilian life in Manitoba. Prince endured discrimination, illness, and poverty in the years that followed and died in 1977. He fought many demons after residential school and the horrors of combat, but he never lost his humility, self-worth, sense of humour and pride of being Anishinaabe.

The "Prairie Sailor" statue is dedcated to the exception number of prairie men who fought in the Battle of the Atlantic during WWII and all from the prairies who have served Canada at Sea. With over 300 officers and 8,000 other ranks having been recruited and initially trained onboard HMCS CHIPPAWA (making it the third largest naval wartime recuitment center only exceeded by those on either coast) it was deemed appropriate to erect a statue on the site of the present day CHIPPAWA.

The statue was created by Helen Granger Young, a noted Manitoba sculptress who is the widow of a wartime "prairie sailor."

The statue depicts a sailor in WWII uniform sitting on a bollard with his kit bag at his side.

The statue was a project of the Naval Museum of Manitoba and was funded by The Friends of the Naval Museum Inc.

The statue was dedicated on Battle of the Atlantic Sunday, May 4, 2014.
