Moon River

Location:  Parry Sound District   N 45 08.610   W 79 59.036
On Grisdale's Road, just off Healey Lake Road, in the settlement of Wood's Bay.

 

This memorial recognizes those from the Moon River area, who served in the major conflicts of Canada's history, starting with the Northwest Rebellion.  Very few memorials pay any tribute to this bloody skirmish, so it's nice to see such a small village take notice.
