Memorial Avenue of Elms

MEMORIAL AVENUE OF ELMS

In 1922 this avenue of elms was completed, and was dedicated as a living memorial to the men from the Manitoba Agricultural College, who had laid down their lives for their country in World War I, 1914-1918.

The first of these memorial trees was planted during the war years by students in Home Economics.
