Veterans' Commemorative Park Background Information

Veterans' Commemorative Park is a legacy project that was created during the 1999 International Year of Older Persons celebrations with the intent of honouring Ontario veterans for their military service. It came about through the collective efforts of the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command District G.

This site of remembrance and reflection features monuments, seating and gardens and is used for the annual District G Remembrance Day ceremonies and other Legion activities.
