L’entrée de cette Avenue commémorative des plus proches parents est marquée par deux socles en pierre. Cette avenue est dédiée aux anciens combattants et aux victimes de la guerre, et a été érigée par la section locale de l’Ordre impérial des filles de l’Empire (IODE) en 1922-1923. L’avenue commémorative de Saskatoon, dont la section Military de l’Ordre impérial des filles de l’Empire a entrepris l’aménagement en 1922-1923, est le seul exemple encore intact des « chemins du Souvenir » créés dans différentes villes canadiennes après la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces mémoriaux vivants, aménagés par des sociétés philanthropiques en l’honneur de leurs concitoyens disparus à la guerre, s’inspirent des longues avenues bordées d’arbres qui se retrouvent dans la campagne française. Comme l’indique une petite plaque offerte par son plus proche parent, chaque arbre est dédié à un soldat en particulier, ce qui fait de cette avenue un tribut personnel et communautaire hautement symbolique.

The National Métis Veterans' Memorial Monument has been engraved in honour of all Métis veterans. The monument has taken years of planning and fundraising. It was first unveiled in July, 2014, marking the achievement of its installation at Batoche. The names of veterans have been collected over many years of research and collaboration with others as well as submissions from the friends and families of Métis veterans. While it is sad to acknowledge that thousands of Métis deserve the inscription, we are proud to honour and commemorate over 5,000 veterans with this first engraving on the monument. Fundraising for the monument's upkeep and future engravings will be ongoing so veterans who are unknown to us at this time can be added in years to come. The monument will forever be a place to pay our respects to Métis servicemen and servicewomen.

An emotion-filled Remembranc­e Day ceremony in 2012 preceded the dedication of the new Morse Veterans Cenotaph as part of the town’s centennial celebratio­n and drew a capacity crowd to the Morse Community Hall. Originally constructed in 2012, the first incarnation of the veteran's monument found itself the victim of an especially strong windstorm in January, causing the 7-inch thick slab of concrete to break as it broke off of its moorings. The good news is that much of the cost of the new Cenotaph was covered by insurance, though, as the thicker, upgraded replacement is a higher investment than the original. Mildred Weppler, Poppy Chairman of the Glen Kerr Legion Branch #126 presented George Byklum, Mayor of the Town of Morse with a cheque in the amount of $1000.00. The donation came from the Poppy Trust Fund and was used to pay the insurance deductible to replace the Cenotaph that was damaged by the windstorm in 2019.

Rick Conn, the owner of Grassland Memorials, who built both the original and the replacement, says that it took a while due to COVID-19 to get a new slab of granite in stock, but that the new monument is nearly 3 inches thicker and about 1,800 pounds heavier and newly designed fasteners. The Morse Cenotaph Monument Committee built the Morse Veterans Cenotaph in 2019 to commemorate all those who served in past conflicts as well as those who are currently serving our country. Built in the community park, the three-piece granite monument was inscribed with approximately 480 names. The project included installing a concrete surround pad, a concrete walkway framed with red stepping stones, two granite benches and a flagpole. In 2019, Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, David Anderson, Member of Parliament for Cypress Hills–Grasslands, announced up to $25,241 in support of a project in Morse, Saskatchewan, to honour Veterans and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This funding, provided through the Community War Memorial Program, supported the construction of the Morse Veterans Cenotaph.
