My VAC AccountThe Guardian is dedicated to those who died in Afghanistan. A baying wolf statue carved in local white marble was donated by Paul E. Shier, a local carver and sits atop a granite base. Its unveiling on May 10, 2007, was hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Tweed Branch No. 428 and the Municipality of Tweed.
The Tweed Cenotaph is also located here.
