Niagara-on-the-Lake
Location: Niagara Region: N 43 15.310 W 79 04.299
In the boulevard at 1 Queen Street.
One of the most impressive and lasting memorials to be seen. This wonderful clock tower is the centre-piece of the beautiful downtown area of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The flowers and landscaping are second to none, this fitting tribute to the men of this region is a pleasant reminder of how remembrance and community spirit can work together to create something special.
