Re-dedication of the Aurora War Memorial marks 100 years of remembrance
On Friday, Oct. 3, King Township joined the towns of Aurora and Stouffville at Peace Park in Aurora to commemorate the 100th anniversary and re-dedication of the Aurora War Memorial, which has stood as a symbol of sacrifice, community and healing for a century. Originally unveiled in 1925, the Aurora War Memorial was built through a joint effort by the communities of Aurora, Whitchurch, and King to honour local residents who served and sacrificed in the First World War.
To mark this historic milestone, the municipalities have come together to organize a series of commemorative projects this year, including a collaborative on-site exhibition. This display features archival images from each municipality’s collection and tells the story of the War Memorial’s creation and the legacy of Peace Park. A traveling version and online exhibit are also in development. Additionally, commemorative street banners bearing the names of those memorialized will be prominently displayed throughout all three communities.
This partnership reflects the enduring spirit of cooperation among the municipalities and their shared commitment to preserving local history and honouring veterans. Through these initiatives, the legacy of those who served will continue to be remembered and respected for generations to come.
