Westport is the smallest municipality (by land area) in Ontario and also has the smallest weekly newspaper. It is a touristic and scenic area. In Westport there is the Foley Conservation Area, a provincial fish sanctuary and of course a port.

 

This memorial is situated on the front lawn of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 542 in Westport ON. What is probably unique about it, is that a ship mast is used in lieu of flagpoles. It might reflect part of what Westport is.

 

The memorial consist of a big rock with a small plaque sitting on a pedestal. On each side some bushes and behind a ship mast with the Ontarian, Canadian and Royal Canadian Legion flags.

 *Thanks to Louise Bellec for the photos and description.
