Landscaping is underway at the New Toronto Cenotaph as workers get it ready for Remembrance Day ceremonies on Thursday November 11.

City staff and the Royal Canadian Legion have been able to preserve and relocate the Cenotaph at Colonel Samuel Smith Park, in the Lake Shore Blvd. W., and Kipling Avenue area.

Today it proudly stands in front of the historic Assembly Hall of Humber College.

The 9000-pound granite memorial stood for decades in front of the former Legion location at Fifth Street and since 1983 it was the site of local Remembrance Day ceremonies.

The move was completed in time for Remembrance Day in November 2020.

Landscaping work is still to be completed, along with adding Afghanistan to the battle honours listed on the memorial.
