History

The cenotaph was originally constructed in 1968, and dedicated at that time to soldiers who had lost their lives in World War I, World War II and the Korean War. It was designed by Walter Gregory and constructed under the supervision of Carl Taylor, funded by the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and its Ladies' Auxiliary.

The memorial was rededicated in 1988 in memory of the fallen of all conflicts, with a special memorialization to the lives lost in the sinking of HMCS Trentonian, a ship named for the city of Trenton and lost during World War II.

Design

A broken column suggests lives cut off early. For the 1988 rededication, two benches were added; one for "rededication to the fallen of all conflicts"; the second dedicated to crew of HMCS Trentonian.

gollark: How would you just get an "evil" version anyway? No (long-lived) empire really just sets out and goes "let's be evil" surely?
gollark: Someone asked this somewhere, I'm sure…
gollark: The trouble with brains is that if you stick them into full-power-off (no oxygen supply or whatever) they can't really turn back on again, unlike (sane) computer systems.
gollark: From my limited trek knowledge they just sit there doing nothing.
gollark: Little-to-no material scarcity doesn't mean there's not anything people want which isn't free.A relevant question is why lots of jobs shown in some of the nanofics aren't done by nonsophont AIs, though.
