Ontario Veterans Memorial, Granite war memorial at Queen's Park, Toronto, Canada.
The Ontario Veterans Memorial is a granite wall on Queen's Park featuring laser-etched images that document military campaigns and events. The site includes paved gathering areas with seating where visitors can pause and reflect.
The memorial was unveiled in 2006 and documents Canadian military involvement from the Fenian raids of 1867 through modern operations. This marked a shift in how Ontario publicly acknowledged its veterans and their contributions.
The site features writings by poet Jane Urquhart and historian Jack Granatstein on bronze plaques that offer reflections on military sacrifice. These inscribed perspectives help visitors connect emotionally with the stories being commemorated.
The site is easy to navigate on wheelchair-accessible paths and offers plenty of places to rest along the way. Visit during quieter times of day to read the inscriptions and reflect without distractions.
The 2006 unveiling ceremony drew one of Toronto's largest military parades, bringing together hundreds of veterans and government officials. This major event showed how deeply the city honored those who served in uniform.
