At the corner of Railway Street and Booth Street.
On the north shore of Lake Nipissing sits the small village
of Cache Bay, along with their cobblestone cenotaph. It was erected in 1950
and dedicated on November 11th of the same year. This memorial is
somewhat unique, with a built in lampost right into the stone cairn, which can
still be lit to remember the men of this close knit community, who gave their
lives in the wars. Their names are forever remembered on a brass plaque.
