Etobicoke


 
Location:  City of Toronto   N 43 38.633  W 079 33.872
At the entrance of the Etobicoke Civic Centre, off of Civic Centre Court and The West Mall.

In 1968, it was recommended to Etobicoke council, that a war memorial be established at the Etobicoke Municipal centre. The decision was made to convert the existing clock tower into a memorial by adding a metal plaque, large cross and flag staff bases.  The total costs involved where held to a mere $1,250.00 for this minimum of effort to remember the brave souls who gave their lives in the name of our country.
