Schomberg

 

Location:  N 44 00.426   W 079 40.416  Located beside the Trisan Centre, on the east side of Dillane Drive.

Dedicated to the men who lost their lives in the two World Wars.  This memorial was originally located in front of the Schomberg Agricultural Arena, but moved to its current position beside the new Trisan Centre, in 2011.
The Lions Club of Schomberg had the memorial re-lettered in 1977.  Also features the logo of the 12th York Rangers, the local militia regiment which became part of the 127th Canadian Expeditionary Force in the Great War.
