Copper Cliff

 

Location:  Sudbury District     N 46.47428   W -81.06688

In the Memorial Garden, corner of Power Street and Balsam Street.

 

This memorial sits in the town's Memorial Garden, dedicated to the remembering the past of this small community.  Copper Cliff's was established mostly to house workers from the very nearby INCO mine.

The memorial consists of a tall concrete obelisk with a stylized sword at the top and a smaller concrete wall with two plaques on the front and three smaller plaques on the back.  The area surrounding the memorial is well landscaped and has a bench to rest and reflect.  The two plaques on the front of the wall are dedicated to the brave men of this area who died in the World Wars.  The Great War plaque is dedicated to the men of nearby INCO towns, the second is strictly for men from Copper Cliff who died in the Second World War.
