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.
This memorial to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 225. Two flagpoles were added after 1983 in memory of Pte. Duane Willson, 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, who died in Cyprus in that year.
In 2015, the Abitibi Power and Paper Company Ltd. and subsidiary companies War Memorial was moved here from it's original location near the Abitibi Power Dam.
