The Memorial Wing, including the Memorial Gym, was officially opened at Closing on June 11, 1924, by His Excellency Governor General Lord Byng. The memorial was made possible by the generosity of Old Boys and friends of the school. On the outside wall of the gym is where the Honour Roll for all three wars is inset.
