Stoney Creek - Saltfleet Memorial

 

Location:  City of Hamilton  N 43. 13.173  W 079 43.778
On the south-west corner of King Street and Queenston Road (Highway 8).

This memorial cenotaph was constructed in 1922, in memory of the men of Saltfleet Township, who gave their lives in the First World War.  The centoaph consists of a bronze statue, on top of a large granite shaft, with the names inscribed for eternity.  Oddly, this is one of the few memorials which dates the war 1914-1919.
After the Second World War, a granite block was placed in front of the statue, with the names of those lost in World War II, and later a single name lost in Korea.

Location:  Parry Sound District  N 45 47.270  W 080 32.538
On the north side of Highway 526, in front of the Legion.

A small but quaint memorial, erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 591, sits directly in front of the legion.  The branch celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011.  This current building was proudly constructed in 1971.  The memorial itself is an engraved stone mounted in the garden.

Glen Williams

 

Location:  Halton Region  N 43 40.085  W 079 55.613
In a small park at the south-east corner of Main Street and Confederation Street.

A rather unique memorial, erected in 1971 by Gerald Inglis.  This three-sided memorial pays tribute to those who served in major conflicts, and to the founding of the picturesque village of Glen Williams.  A pleasant place to relax beside the clear waters of the Credit River, and take in the calmness that seems to linger in this small park.
