Trafalgar Memorial

[RohithaF]

Memorial Park is where Trafalgar Memorial is located in Oakville Ontario Canada.

The Town of Oakville passed a by-law to designate Trafalgar Memorial, located at 120 Oak Park Blvd., as a property of cultural heritage value and interest.

Dedicated in 2005, Trafalgar Memorial was designed and built as a war memorial.

The memorial acknowledges around 700 veterans from the former Trafalgar township who served during WWI, WWII and the Korean War.

The Trafalgar Memorial has cultural heritage value due to its historical associations with the former Trafalgar township, the former hamlet of Trafalgar (also known as Post's Corners and Postville), and with veterans of war from Trafalgar Township. 

Significant attributes of the Trafalgar Memorial include the brick garden walls made of red bricks recovered from the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall, the layout of these walls, the arch made of red brick and stone salvaged from the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall, the design of the arch which imitates the original frontispiece of the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall, the brick monument containing the plaques made of red bricks salvaged from the former Trafalgar Memorial Hall, the design of the brick monument which is angled to represent those who have fallen in war, and the six bronze plaques on the monument.
