Nelson War Memorial

The Nelson War Memorial was constructed in 1922 in memory of local servicemen who lost their lives in the First World War. At a later date the Cenotaph was dedicated to include tributes to the local servicemen who lost their lives in the Second World War. Originally the Cenotaph was placed near the North East end of Vernon Street Boulevard on the 400 block of Vernon Street. In the early 1980's the Cenotaph was moved to the British Columbia Government Office Building courtyard on Ward Street. As a salute to those whose lives were lost in the Wars, the Nelson Pilots Association on each November 11th, honour the occasion with a fly past. Several aircraft and helicopters fly in loose formation over the Cenotaph as the ceremony on the ground is ending. It now includes a tribute to the memory of the Korean War.
