Initially constructed in memory of the brave Port Credit men who lost their lives during WWI. It was designed and constructed by Louis Temporale (recipient of the Order of Canada for master craftsmanship in stone masonry).

This Cenotaph, when it was first erected, listed the names of the brave Port Credit men who lost their lives during World War I. In 1946 and 1983, the names of the men who fell during the World War II and the Korean Conflict were added. The memorial is located beside Memorial Park on Stavebank Road North and has been a revered landmark since its building in 1925.
