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.

The names of University of Manitoba students and staff who served in the First World War were painted directly on the walls of the university's Administration Building, formerly the Manitoba Agricultural College. The gilded gold lettering is attributed to renowned Canadian artist Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald.

The names were copied from a Memorial Book. Mr. W.B.H. Teakes, Assistant Registrar, identified the university men in the military lists and collected the information. He was aided by Private C.F. Black and Lieutenant G.C. Young, after their return from overseas. Advice and assistance to the design were given by Professor A.A. Stoughton and the Honour Roll was made by D.C. Harvey.

The Avenue of Elms commemorates students and staff of the Manitoba Agricultural College who were killed during military service in the First World War. The first elm trees were planted during the First World War by Home Economic students. Two hundred American saplings, proceeding from the Manitoba Agricultural College (now University of Manitoba) Administration Building to Pembina Highway, were planted on May 14, 1922, by teams comprised of graduates, staff, and students of the college and also staff from the Provincial Agricultural Department. 

A monument for the Avenue of Elms was unveiled at a ceremony held on 11 November 1923, attended by 500 people including Hugh Marshall Dyer (former Chair of the Board of Directors for the Manitoba Agricultural College), Louis Wilfred Moffit of Wesley College, and Premier John Bracken.

A dozen trees were moved to the campus quadrangle in 1969. Many have since been removed to slow the spread of Dutch elm disease. Today, 55 percent of the trees are replacements (80 percent on the north side of the avenue). 

On 6 June 1998, the 1922 dedication was extended to include more former students and faculty who were killed during the Second World War and the Korean War with the addition of a second plaque at Chancellor Matheson Road from Pembina Highway.

In 1918, Canadians turned to the duty of commemorating the dead. Some promoted practical memorials like Roads of Remembrance. These linear tree-lined avenues had trees that were typically a single species, regularly spaced along each side of the avenue that would grow tall and stately. American elms were chosen for many of these avenues. A small plaque was used to assign a particular tree to a specific fallen soldier. In some cases, the next-of-kin was involved in purchasing the tree and/or plaque for the deceased soldier.

Roads of Remembrance were based on two symbol-laden images. The first was France’s tree-lined country avenues: “long straight roads, with large elms on either side, beautiful and useful, and loved by the Canadians overseas.” The second symbol was a living memorial: trees represented the victory of life over death. Memorial trees became living symbols of the sacrifices made overseas.

Originally introduced in 1952, as the "RCAF Association Trophy" the F/L David Hornell VC Memorial Trophy was annually awarded to the top Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Canada, as judged by the Air Cadet League of Canada. The last such award, in 1982, went to 650 Vanier Squadron, Moncton, N.B. The trophy was then "retired" until 1991 when it was resurrected to be presented, by the Commander or Deputy Commander of Air Command to the top RCAC drill squadron at the Senior Leaders Course each summer at 4 Wing, Cold Lake, AB. Should it be convenient, a member of the National Executive Council of the Air Force Association may be called upon to present the trophy. Newly refurbished, the Trophy is now maintained at 1 Canadian Air Division Command HQ.
