Parksville, British Columbia In November of 1995 plans made by Georgia Keddy to purchase 3 veterans memorials were approved. This was the first time in the North Central Vancouver Island Zone, which contains 12 branches, that such a venture had been attempted.
There are memorials located at St. Anne's Church, Knox United Church, and the Parksville Funeral Chapel. The memorials were constructed in June of 1996 in memory of the Parksville and area veterans who survived the Wars and died in later years.
The dedication ceremonies took place on October 27, 1996. There was a color guard, a laying of wreaths, the unveiling, and then a light lunch served by the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 49.
