The Flin Flon Cenotaph, unveiled in 1959, is a grand presence overlooking the community from one of the city’s high points. This memorial to local Veterans was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 73. Eighty seven names appear on the bronze plaque Honour Roll. With its powerful verticality, simple but elegant form, expert stonework, and beautifully carved details, the memorial is a sculptural highlight.

The Women's Tribute Memorial Lodge was completed in 1931 at a cost of approximately $32,000. The lodge was the idea of Harriet Walker, who in 1917 was inspired by a similar proposal in Toronto. The group's funding campaign lasted 14 years, operating as the Women's Tribute Association as of 1924. In 1930, they received $9,000 from the Royal Canadian Legion Deer Lodge Branch and a land grant from the Municipality of St. James.

Built next to the Deer Lodge Military Hospital, the facility's auditorium, clubrooms, offices and Memorial Room of Silence provided Veterans with a place for meeting, recreation and remembrance. The building was designed by architects George W. Northwood and Cyril W.U. Chivers, both decorated Veterans. Construction began in April 1931, with an effort to hire as many returned servicemen as possible to work on the building. 

In 1978, the Deer Lodge Branch transferred operations of the building to the Valour Road Branch of the Canadian Legion. The building was closed in December 1986 and ownership was passed to the Winnipeg Foundation. It was saved from demolition by a heritage designation on July 8, 1987.

The Women's Tribute Memorial Lodge entered the spotlight in 2001 when it was used as a set in the film One Last Dance, written by and starring Patrick Swayze. The province invested $13,000 in repairs and in 2003, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority proposed opening a Movement Disorders Clinic and it opened in 2006.
