Leaside Memorial Community Gardens Act of Remembrance
Friday November 8, 2024, 10:00 am | William Lea Room
The Town of Leaside wished to commemorate and honour those servicemen from Leaside who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of freedom during World War II. As a registered war memorial, LMCG holds a special place in honouring our veterans.
Opened in 1952, following the war, the local arena was chosen to be memorialized in their honour. Leaside Gardens was dedicated on the golden anniversary of the Town of Leaside, on Sept. 13, 1962. A memorial plaque depicting the names of the fallen service men is located on the easterly corner of the facility’s entrance.
In Sept. 2018, Leaside Memorial Community Gardens was admitted to the national inventory of Canadian Military Memorials, a repository of memorials and monuments located in communities across the country. Currently, more than 7,500 memorials are posted on the website.
This year LMCG will hold an Act of Remembrance that will include the recitation of the Names of the Fallen, a reading of In Flanders Field, commentary by Leaside historian Ted de Welles, and the Last Post, Lament and Reveille on trumpet and bagpipe.
All are encouraged to attend. Coffee, tea and light refreshments will be offered after the service.
We will remember them.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Councillor Jaye Robinson, earlier today. Councillor Robinson was a valued member of the board of management at Leaside Memorial Community Gardens and a tireless advocate on behalf of her constituents in Ward 15 for over 14 years. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time.
