Veteran’s Plaza is the focal point of the community’s downtown open space system. In 2008, LEES+Associates (with Asymmetric Design Group) was commissioned to design the new plaza. The design team worked closely with City staff and Veterans to design a new cenotaph which is the plaza's focal point. Since its completion in October of 2009, the plaza has been the site of the annual Remembrance Day observations.

The Memorial Wall was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 and Ladies Auxiliary in 2007. Work began around the year 2000, by the Group of Garden Angels who worked on a garden area. When they dissolved in 2005, the Royal Canadian Legion No. 43 Ladies Auxiliary took over raising money for the memorial.

The City of Prince George provided the plot and the stone and bench were made from a local company. Both the Canadian Red Ensign and the Canadian flag are on the memorial.

The city’s first cenotaph was built in 1950. In 2008, LEES+Associates (with Asymmetric Design Group) was commissioned to design a new plaza and the design team worked closely with City staff and Veterans to design a new cenotaph which is the plaza's focal point. 

The cenotaph consists of two pillars of river rock and bronze plaques and was dedicated on 6 June 2010 in recognition of the 66th Anniversary of D-Day, a turning point in the Second World War. It was designed to be reminiscent of the Vimy Ridge Memorial.
