As the city filed it
For decades, the Cenotaph located in front of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 3 at 150 Eighth Street has been a place of gathering for those looking to remember the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. As the years go by, and the memories of the devastating consequences of these wars drifts further away from our minds, the Cenotaph serves as an important reminder of the tragedies of war and provides our community with an important source of reflection.

The Economic Development and Culture Division have assessed the Cenotaph and will be taking it into the City's public art collection. A new location on City property has been found for the Cenotaph, however, it currently sits on private lands that have been purchased for redevelopment. The developer is preparing to submit an application that includes demolishing the existing property and constructing new residential dwellings on the site. There is significant concern over the possibility of the Cenotaph being damaged before it can be relocated. The Cenotaph is of heritage value and needs to be protected.
Staff recommended
Councillor Mark Grimes, seconded by Councillor Stephen Holyday, recommends that: 1. City Council request the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services to take immediate action to list 150 Eighth treet on the City's Heritage Registry.
