Old City Hall Cenotaph, Toronto, War memorial at Old City Hall in Toronto, Canada.
The granite cenotaph stands prominently at the front steps of Old City Hall, featuring inscriptions that honor Canadian military personnel who died in service.
The memorial, unveiled in November 1925, was designed by architects W.M. Ferguson and T.C. Pomphrey after winning a competition among 50 submissions.
The cenotaph serves as the central location for Toronto's annual Remembrance Day ceremonies, gathering thousands of citizens to honor fallen soldiers.
The monument area undergoes temporary street closures during commemorative events, affecting access to Bay Street and Queen Street West.
Field Marshall Haig personally laid a foundation stone for the cenotaph on July 24, 1925, marking the connection between Canadian and British military traditions.
