Orono

Location:  Clarington, Durham Region    N 43. 58.515  W 078 36.983
On the north-west corner of Main Street and Station Street.

 

This memorial was originally posted in January 2013, but due to photo storage issues, it is being re-posted and updated.

The well-landscaped memorial was unveiled in November, 1957.  The grounds are tended by the Orono Horticultural Society, and other local community groups.  The style of memorial is common across Ontario, a granite wall, paying tribute to the local dead of the World Wars.
