St. Mary's

Location:  N 43° 15.594 W 081° 08.418  At the northeast corner of Queen Street E and Church Street, beside the Town Hall.

A beautiful park, beside the historic St. Mary’s Town Hall, dedicated to the remembrance of our fallen heroes.  The park features a garden, a walkway, an arch and mainly a tall monument to the veterans of the First World War.

Additional plaques on the side of the Town Hall show the names of those from other conflicts.

There are numerous plaques found around the gardens, including one from the Women’s Institute and from Dutch emigrants.

The area is beautifully kept for all visitors, and offers a quiet place for remembrance.
