N 43° 46.948 W 079° 35.620
80 Wallace Street, Woodbridge

The Woodbridge War Memorial Tower was constructed in 1924 by volunteer members of the community in honour of the supreme sacrifice made by the 26 men from the Woodbridge area killed in the First World War.  The tower was unveiled by Colonel Harry Cockshutt, the Lieut-Governor of Ontario.
The site is designed in four stepped levels: the highest level is occupied by the tower and a pair of German field guns.  The third level also hosts an artillery piece, along with the flagpoles and an area for wreaths and remembrance.  The base level consists of a stone gateway and staircase, featuring an engraved marker and two plaques added later, one to commemorate Canada's 1967 Centennial Year, and the other erected by the politicians of the City of Vaughan in 1996 to congratulate themselves for agreeing to spend the funds to updated and landscape the park, something which they should be continually doing in any case.

This is one of the more impressive and beautiful Memorial parks I have visited.  A true testament to the sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom.

Stoney Creek - Saltfleet Memorial

 

Location:  City of Hamilton  N 43. 13.173  W 079 43.778
On the south-west corner of King Street and Queenston Road (Highway 8).

This memorial cenotaph was constructed in 1922, in memory of the men of Saltfleet Township, who gave their lives in the First World War.  The centoaph consists of a bronze statue, on top of a large granite shaft, with the names inscribed for eternity.  Oddly, this is one of the few memorials which dates the war 1914-1919.
After the Second World War, a granite block was placed in front of the statue, with the names of those lost in World War II, and later a single name lost in Korea.
