Town of York Cenotaph

Large stone memorial featuring a sword hanging above words and dates of war: 1914-1918; 1939-1945; 1950-1953

Location: Eglinton Avenue West, near Keele
Date photo taken: 14 October 2022

Located at the York Civic Centre, this cenotaph pays tribute to the men and women from the Town of York who gave their lives in the service of their country in the First and Second World Wars. It also, unlike many of the memorials in the city, includes the Korean War. While overshadowed in our collective consciousness by the wars proceeding it, it's important to remember that more than 26,000 Canadians served during this conflict.
