Toronto - York Township

 

Location:  City of Toronto     N 43.68998   W -79.47758

At 40 Municipal Drive, just north of Eglinton Avenue, near the York Civic Centre.

This cenotaph was erected to honour the men and women from York Township, who gave their lives for King and Country.  The grey granite memorial stands on a busy lane near the York Civic Centre, the hub for the area.  Once upon a time, this community was distant from the hustle and bustle of the big city, now it has become part of the huge city of Toronto.  The smaller stone seen in the photos beside the memorial is a cenotaph.
