Standing beside the Legion building, this Royal Canadian Legion Cenotaph is an impressive, very large stone stele quarried from the area, mounted atop a low concrete plinth. There are several plaques attached to the stone memorial and three flags fly nearby.

There is also a large white cross and attached is a WWII helmet. The Legion Crest is above the cross.

One of the plaques honors those fallen soldiers of WWI and WWII.
