Peace Memorial Park Hamilton

PEACE MEMORIAL PARK

 

Prior to the demolition of Peace Memorial School in 2005, plans were formulated to create a neighbourhood park on this site.  This memorial arch relates to the ancient Romans, who built such arches to commemorate famous battles and to remember those who lost their lives for the cause.  This old columned portico stands proudly today as a memorial to the school and to the thousands of Canadian men and women who served and gave their lives in the struggle for peace and freedom.  Peace Memorial Park was established not only as a remembrance to those who served and gave their lives in the First World War, but also as a tribute to the men and women of Canada's armed forces who have served their country in war and peace in the 20th and 21st centuries.  Their legacy prevails today in the service of their committed descendants.  

Remember Them.
