Georgetown

 

Location:  Halton Region   N 43 38.915  W 79 55.762
On the corner of James Street and Charles Street.
 

Georgetown is home to one of the most beautiful remembrance parks in Ontario, and also home to the Lorne Scots Regiment (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment).   The original memorial was erected in 1920, in memory of the local men who died in the Great War.  It was later updated to include plaques dedicated to those lost in the Second World War and Korea.  In 1960, the memorial was moved to its current location, and in 2000, received a major restoration and beautification program.  In addition to the names listed on the memorial, greater detail is also shown on trailside plaques which also list the names and details of their deaths, in the form of a remembrance book.  On top of the memorial is a large statue of an angel of peace taming a lion.  The Remembrance Park also features a fountain, a pair artillery cannons, walkways with benches and a time capsule.  The citizens of this area should be proud of the efforts made to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and the many contributions of the brave Lorne Scots.
