Other

In 1922, the Township of Brock erected a memorial to local citizens who had died in the First World War. Ontario war memorials based on the same template were constructed in Kemptville, Cape Crocker and Wiarton. The memorial features a lone young soldier standing tall, grasping his rifle vertically in front of him. Since that time, the soldier's memorial has come to symbolize all from Sunderland killed in war service.
