For many years members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 76 attended the Parksville Armistice Day ceremonies. The names of Qualicum Beach men who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the Parksville Cenotaph.

In the spring of 1935, J.R. Lowery donated a centerpiece and flagpole which was erected in the Qualicum Beach Cemetery. The land was originally jointly owned by the Legion with other local organizations, and had been deeded to the village with the stipulation that the center plot be retained by the Legion.  Mr. McGowan finished the centerpiece and a tablet was added. Each year following the Parksville ceremonies, a wreath was placed at the foot of the flagstaff, in remembrance of several Veterans interred in the cemetery. 

During 1946 and 1947, a Memorial Committee headed by E.D. Thwaites, raised funds to erect a cenotaph

In November of 1995 plans made by Georgia Keddy to purchase three Veterans memorials were approved. This was the first time in the North Central Vancouver Island Zone, which contains 10 Royal Canadian Legion branches, that such a venture had been attempted.

The memorials are located in Parksville at St. Anne's Church, Knox United Church, and Yates Memorial. The memorials were constructed in June of 1996 in memory of the Parksville and area Veterans who survived the wars and died in later years. The dedication ceremony took place on October 27, 1996. There was a colour guard, laying of wreaths, unveiling, and a light lunch served by the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 49.

This memorial to the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War was erected by Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No. 293. Branch 293 came into existence in 1942 and the building was officially opened in April 1947. By Armistice Day a flag pole was erected and a Cenotaph built by early members R. Gilliland and the stucco work by Frank Lockwood who was president for four (4) years. This Cenotaph was a focal point for Remembrance Day ceremonies for many years until the plot of ground it stood on was needed for other purposes. However, a new monument was erected in 1989 close to the Legion Building. It is made of local rocks from a mountain overlooking Sproat Lake. Much of the work done was voluntary and the cost to the Branch was $1,180.00.
