Peterborough Veterans Wall of Honour

The Veterans Wall of Honour will be installed in Confederation Square in October 2010 to honour Peterborough's veterans. The design comprises twelve monumental granite stones arranged in a semi-circle around the Peterborough Cenotaph, inscribed with the names of over 11,000 men and women who served Canada in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. The dedication ceremony is planned for October 9, 2010.
