| Big Valley, Alberta
The Big Valley Cenotaph was constructed in 1925 in memory of all those who laid down their lives during World War I and World War II.
The Big Valley Memorial Cenotaph is located in a beautiful treed and flowered park approximately 1/2 block from our Legion, which is an Original Charter Member. Planters adorn the east and west side of the Monument with smaller ones on the base. These are pruned and watered by volunteers and village staff.
