Burk's Falls - Legion Br. #405

Location:  Parry Sound District   N 45 37.370  W 079 24.267
In front of the Legion at the northwest corner of Centre Street and Mary Street.

Burk's Falls has a proud tradition of celebrating the military and the sacrifices made by those who have served.  The cenotaph on the main street is a classic and the town is decorated year round with yellow ribbons of support.  A few blocks away is the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #405, an active force in the community.
In front of the Legion has been erected a stone of local rock adorned with a plaque to their fallen comrades, as well as separate stone and plaque in memory of Lieut. Donald Wellman.  Lieut. Wellman flew for the 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, born and buried in Belleville, his Twin Huey crashed in October 1991 in the woods to the west of Burk's Falls in a tragic accident.  Two men survived the crash, but unfortunately Lieut. Wellman perished.  A small memorial marks the crash site which is situated on private property and the location remains unknown to me.
A reminder that the good men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces not only lose their lives in times of war, but also in training during peacetime to keep their skills as the best in the world.

N 45 01.023  W 074 44.085
In Legion Memorial Park on the corner of Second Street W and Bedford Street.

 

A beautiful cenotaph in Legion Memorial Park, erected in 1923 by the citizens of Cornwall and suburbs.  Originally erected to honour those lost in the Great War, the memorial was later modified to include the Second World War and Korea, as well as a plaque recognizing contributions made in peacekeeping and the Afghan conflict.  The memorial is host to the traditional November 11th Remebrance Day ceremonies and is also used for Battle of the Atlantic ceremonies.  An elegant fountain adorns the grounds in front of the memorial, this was added as a Centennial project in 1967.  A pair of cannons and well landscaped gardens also greet those who visit this special place, as the statue of a young soldier watches over the names of his comrades, resting atop the cenotaph after his long fight with the foe, he leans weary against one of many grave markers from Flander's Fields.  The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #297 retains stewardship of the park.

Bridgenorth

Location:  Peterborough County   N 44 22.663  W 078 23.154
In a park at Ward Street and Maitland Street.

Take a walk along Bridgenorth's Veteran's Memorial Pathway of Honour, read the names of those from this community who served during the Great Wars and Korea, take time to reflect and remember in the idyllic park setting.  This memorial is a very well-done tribute to the local heroes who bravely served our country in time of conflict.
In this Memorial park you will find a gazebo, a walkway of stones with names of those whose families have contributed to the creation of this park, as well as a series of three large plaques with their long list of names of the brave veterans who served during the war years.
At the entrance to the walkway you will also find a plaque dedicated to the organizations responsible for this memorial and finally a stone dedicated to honouring the memory of those from this region who served for our freedom.
