Location:   Parry Sound District   N 46 13.390  W 79 21.810
On the corner of Landsdowne Street and High Street.
 

This good looking cenotaph is located in Peace Park, dedicated to honouring those who served their country in time of war.  The main memorial lists the men lost in the First World War, while a small plaque at the base of the memorial lists the names of those lost in the Second World War.  The Korean War is also recognized, although no one from this area was lost in that conflict.
A motion is underway in the local town council, to upgrade the current memorial by adding two additional monuments on either side of the existing memorial.  One monument would be dedicated to Fire Fighters and Police Officers.  The local legion, Branch 445, and the town have given the plan its blessing.
