Japanese Canadian War Memorial

Japanese Canadian War Memorial

This monument was dedicated on April 9, 1920

in lasting memory of more than 220 who

answered the call of duty for Canada and to

the 54 who sacrificed their lives in defence of

freedom in WW I. Engraved on the monument is the

honour roll of WW I and those who lost their lives 

in WW I, WW II, the Korean War and the Afghan War.

A re-lighting of the memorial lantern, which

was extinguished during WW II, took place on

August 2, 1985 by WW I veteran, Sgt. M. Mitsui MM.
