Restoule

Location:  Parry Sound District   N 46 01.618   W 079 43.976
In front of the Legion, 50 Hawthorne Drive.

 

In front of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 639, you will find two memorials.  The first is the original memorial erected in 1939 by the Restoule Women's Institute.  It was first located in front of Restoule Public School, which was closed in 1992, and later re-opened as the Legion in 1995.  The stone was refurbished in September 1997, and still rests against the wall of the Legion.

The second memorial, and the most recent was an updated version of the original stone, with the additions of World War II and Korea.  This new cairn sits in front of the old memorial and is a proud testament of the dedication of the citizens of Restoule to remember those who served.
