Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

Valde Lake was named in honour of Pilot Officer Victor Lewis Valde. He enlisted and served as an air gunner with the Royal Canadian Air Force and was killed in action on 2 November 1944 at 20 years of age. Valde was the only son of Lewis and Emma Valde and attended Transcona Memorial United Church prior to enlistment.

Victor Valde Memorial Park and Valde Avenue in Transcona are also named in honour of Pilot Officer Valde.
