Oro-Medonte

Location: N 44° 30.212 W 079° 33.282 7th Line North.
A simple yet attractive memorial on the grounds of the Oro-Medonte fairgrounds.

A tall white marlbe shaft, dedicated to those you gave their lives in the First World War. Adorned at the top with a brass symbol of a Canadian maple leaf.
The fairgrounds itself is not always open to the public. A large chain link fence surrounds the area, making it difficult to gain access to the memorial, unless an event is taking place. The memorial can easily be seen from the road however.
The names of those who perished in the Second World War are engraved on the back.
