Sandy Cove Acres

 

Location:  Innisfil, Simcoe County  N 44 21.046  W 079 33.472
In front of the Community Centre, on Weeping Willow Drive, south of Lockhart Road.

Sandy Cove acres is a retirement community, and as such is residence to several veterans of World War II and Korea.  Beginning in 1982, a group of these veterans began assembling the memorial we see now.  A vintage field gun from the First World War was acquired, and two stone markers were erected along with a beautifully landscaped garden.

Marker text:
W. W. I
1914 - 1918
W. W. II
1939 - 1945
KOREA
1950 - 1953
LEST WE FORGET



IN THE MEMORY OF THE
MEN AND WOMEN WHO
DIED IN THE SERVICE
OF THEIR COUNTRY
