The Cairn was constructed by Legion Members and is maintained by them. The Stone was the original from Woodfibre, which joined with the Squamish Branch, in 1974. The Stone was brought to the Legion after the Old Hall at Woodfibre was torn down.
The Cairn is used on Remembrance Day for an informal wreath laying in memory of Legion Members and old employees of Woodfibre.
