George's Square
Construction of the Veterans' Memorial addition at George's Square, located on Trafalgar Road at Palmer Avenue, was completed in 2010. The memorial addition lists the names of those who served in WWI or WWII, and resided in Oakville at the time of their enlistment. It consists of two curved walls at the north and south ends of the existing cenotaph, complimented by benches and landscaping. The original monument lists the names of veterans who died during their service to this country.
